Mnx1 motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 15285)
Symbol: Mnx1
Full name: motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: HB9; Hlxb9; MNR2
Summary: Predicted to enable sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diaphragm development; endocrine pancreas development; and nervous system development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; lung epithelium; and notochord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Currarino syndrome. Orthologous to human MNX1 (motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
