Name | Nkx2-5 |
---|---|
Synonyms | Csx, Nkx-2.5, Nkx2e |
Function | Implicated in commitment to and/or differentiation of the myocardial lineage. Acts as a transcriptional activator of ANF in cooperation with GATA4. It is transcriptionally controlled by PBX1 and acts as a transcriptional repressor of CDKN2B. Together with PBX1, it is required for spleen development through a mechanism that involves CDKN2B repression. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Predominantly in the adult and embryonic heart, and to a lesser extent in lingual muscle, spleen and stomach |
