MNX1 motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1

Gene ID: 3110, updated on 10-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HB9; HLXB9; SCRA1; HOXHB9

Summary

This gene encodes a nuclear protein, which contains a homeobox domain and is a transcription factor. Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome, an autosomic dominant congenital malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
