Mkx - mohawk homeobox

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; intratendonous ossification; and negative regulation of cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human MKX (mohawk homeobox). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
