Mnx1 - motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1

Predicted to enable sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in endocrine pancreas development; neuron projection morphogenesis; and spinal cord motor neuron cell fate specification. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including diaphragm development; nervous system development; and pancreas development. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Currarino syndrome. Orthologous to human MNX1 (motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
