SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Nucleus. |
SIMILARITY | Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. |
SUBUNIT | Interacts (via homeobox domain) with EP300. |
Post-translational modifications | Acetylated at Lys-131 by EP300, leading to increased interaction with EP300 and enhances transcriptional activation activity. |
DISEASE | Defects in ALX1 are the cause of frontonasal dysplasia type 3 (FND3) [MIM:613456]. The term frontonasal dysplasia describes an array of abnormalities affecting the eyes, forehead and nose and linked to midfacial dysraphia. The clinical picture is highly variable. Major findings include true ocular hypertelorism; broadening of the nasal root; median facial cleft affecting the nose and/or upper lip and palate; unilateral or bilateral clefting of the alae nasi; lack of formation of the nasal tip; anterior cranium bifidum occultum; a V-shaped or widow's peak frontal hairline. |
Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Background Descriptions | The specific function of this gene has yet to be determined in humans; however, in rodents, it is necessary for survival of the forebrain mesenchyme and may also be involved in development of the cervix. Mutations in the mouse gene lead to neural tube defects such as acrania and meroanencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |

Name | ALX1 (HGNC:1494) |
---|---|
Function | Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor that binds palindromic sequences within promoters and may activate or repress the transcription of a subset of genes (PubMed:8756334, PubMed:9753625). Most probably regulates the expression of genes involved in the development of mesenchyme-derived craniofacial structures. Early on in development, it plays a role in forebrain mesenchyme survival (PubMed:20451171). May also induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the expression of SNAI1 (PubMed:23288509). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus |
Tissue Location | Cartilage and cervix tissue. |
