PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • polyalanine repeat region
  • a highly conserved domain of unknown functions
  • a helix-turn-helix, DNA binding domain
  • a nuclear localization signal (NLS) within the homeobox
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to Drosophila proboscipedia (distantly)
    homolog to murine Hlxb9
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • homeobox domain protein family (non HOX)
  • CATEGORY DNA associated , transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating gene transcription in lymphoid and pancreatic tissues
  • implicated in the development of both solid and hematological malignancies
  • may have a dual role in childhood leukemia, as an oncogene in infant AML but as a tumor suppressor in childhood ALL
  • is an important factor for beta-cell proliferation and insulin regulation
  • role for MNX1 in human pancreatic beta-cell development
  • key role in development of the human pancreas
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with MEN1 and reduces cell proliferation and causes apoptosis in the presence of menin, and it regulates genes that modulate insulin level
  • cell & other
