    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • is required in the endoderm to localize the pancreas and limit beta-cell number
  • is dispensable for the establishment and maintenance of normal hematopoiesis in adult
  • CDX4 participates likely in MLL-AF9-mediated leukemogenesis supporting a role for CDX factors in the pathogenesis of myeloid leukemia
  • while both canonical WNT and CDX2 can regulate the activity of the CDX4 promoter, they appear to operate through distinct mechanisms
  • is a homeodomain transcription factor that was also implicated in myeloid leukemogenesis
  • auto- and cross-regulation of CDX4 and SALL4 establish a stable molecular circuit in the mesoderm that facilitates the activation of the blood-specific program as development proceeds
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    protein
  • CDX4 influenced transcription of HOXA10 target genes in a HOXA10-dependent manner
  • FGF2 and CDX4 are direct target genes of HOXA10 and HOXA10 is a CDX4 target gene
  • CTNNB1 activates the HOXA10 and CDX4 genes in myeloid progenitor cells
  • CDX4 activates transcription of the HOXA9 and HOXA10 genes, and HOXA10 activates CDX4 transcription
  • interactions between CYP26A1 and CDX4 modulate RA levels along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis to segregate the posterior neural plate into the hindbrain and spinal cord territories
