NKX-homeodomain factor

Class of proteins

NKX-homeodomain factors are a family of homeodomain transcription factors that are critical regulators of organ development.[1]

Human genes that encode NKX-homeodomain factors include:

  • NKX1-1, NKX1-2
  • NKX2-1, NKX2-2, NKX2-4, NKX2-8
  • NKX3-1, NKX3-2
  • NKX6-1, NKX6-2, NKX6-3
