CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome

basic FUNCTION	NKX2-1 and NKX2-4 activity may likely be required to maintain their expression in specific domains of the developing forebrain
	potentially playing a role in cell type specification and for maintenance of the differentiated phenotype
	play a critical role in lineage-specific regulation of organ development

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, differentiation
	nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

development

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

binding

RNA

small molecule

protein	mechanistically, H2AZ1 regulates embryonic neurogenesis by targeting NKX2-4 through interaction with SETD2, thereby promoting H3K36me3 modification to activate the transcription of NKX2-4
	NKX2.4 regulates TERT and CLPTM1L expression
