Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuroepithelial cell differentiation; and regulation of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; ileum; nervous system; sensory organ; and surface ectoderm. Orthologous to human EMX1 (empty spiracles homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Study shows that in mice on the C57Bl/6 background EMX1 plays an essential role in the midline crossing of an axonal subpopulation of the corpus callosum derived from the anterior cingulate cortex. In the absence of EMX1, cingulate axons display reduced expression of the axon guidance receptor NRP1 and form aberrant axonal bundles within the rostral corpus callosum.

The data of this study confirmed a dorsal precursor origin for cortical EGFR+ precursors and identify a novel regional difference in the abundance of self-renewing, neurogenic precursors within the Emx1-lineage of the late gestation mouse cerebral cortex

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
