Tbio Homeobox protein Nkx-6.3

Putative transcription factor, which may be involved in patterning of central nervous system and pancreas.

The NKX family of homeodomain proteins controls numerous developmental processes. Members of the NKX6 subfamily, including NKX6-3, are involved in development of the central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas (Alanentalo et al., 2006 [PubMed 16326147]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

PMID Text
26743476 Suggest that NKX6.3 might function as a master regulator of gastric differentiation by affecting SOX2 and CDX2 expression and the NKX6.3 inactivation may result in intestinal metaplasia in gastric epithelial cells.
26314965 Data suggest that NK6 homeobox 3 (NKX6.3) may control the fate of gastric mucosal cells and function as a gastric tumor suppressor.
