Gbx1 - gastrulation brain homeobox 1

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within adult walking behavior; neuron differentiation; and proprioception. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; and eye. Orthologous to human GBX1 (gastrulation brain homeobox 1).
