Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; endochondral ossification; and osteoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; neuron differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study split hand-foot malformation 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in split hand-foot malformation 1 and split hand-foot malformation 1 with sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human DLX5 (distal-less homeobox 5).

miR-339 expression gradually decreased while the expression of DLX5 increased during the induction culture of primary mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Bioinformatics predicted that miR-339 might target DLX5, and this hypothesis was validated by luciferase reporter assay. DLX5 could reverse the inhibitory effect of overexpression of miR-339 on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.
Title: Down-regulation of miR-339 promotes differentiation of BMSCs and alleviates osteoporosis by targeting DLX5.
(1) Dlx5/6 activation in NCCs invariably determines lower jaw identity; (2) the morphogenetic processes that generate functional matching jaws depend on the harmonization of Dlx5/6 expression in NCCs and in distinct ectodermal territories.

Results indicate that Dlx5 and Runx2 are critical factors for the upregulated Osterix expression in shPP2A cells, which is considered to be important for the accelerated osteoblast differentiation in these cells.
Title: Upregulated osterix expression elicited by Runx2 and Dlx5 is required for the accelerated osteoblast differentiation in PP2A Cα-knockdown cells.
FGF10 pathway is downregulated in Dlx5(-/-) mice, and activation of FGF10 signaling rescues cranial neural crest cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

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.
