    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal domain required for crosstalk-dependent thymic epithelial cell differentiation
  • a forkhead (FH, winged-helix) domain
  • two loops-wings on the C terminal side of helix-turn-helix homeodomain

    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating keratin gene expression
  • may be involved in neurulation
  • implicated in a pathway that should serve as a nexus coordinating cell division, differentiation, and pigmentation
  • promotes the terminal differentiation of epithelial cells in the epidermis and hair follicles
  • modulates stage-specific markers by modulating PKC activity, providing control over the timing of steps in the differentiation program
  • MSX2, and FOXN1, upstream of NOTCH1 within the hair matrix, play a pivotal role in inner root sheath, cortex and medulla differentiation
  • important functions for MSX2 and FOXN1 in regulating differentiation of the keratogenous zone, proliferation of distal nail matrix cells, and organization of the nail bed
  • implicated in the differentiation of thymic and skin epithelial cells
  • crucial for in utero T cell development
  • powerful regulator of thymic epithelial cell differentiation that is required at multiple intermediate stages of thymic epithelial lineage development in the fetal and adult thymus
