Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and MADS box domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chordate embryonic development; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and reproductive structure development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in salivary gland morphogenesis; morphogenesis of a branching epithelium; and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including arterial system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; paraxial mesenchyme; and tooth. Used to study prostate cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human NKX3-1 (NK3 homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

During prostate cancer initiation, Nkx3.1 expression is frequently lost in both humans and mouse models. Data, including data from studies using cells from transgenic mice, suggest that androgens activate Nkx3.1 transcription via androgen receptor binding to 11-kb region in both normal luminal cells and castration-resistant prostatic neoplasm cells via androgen response elements in Nkx3.1 3prime untranslated region.

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.
