Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis; and regulation of cardiac chamber formation. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aortic valve disease 2; atrioventricular block; congenital heart disease (multiple); and congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 5. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; digestive system; margin; mesoderm; and pharyngeal arch. Orthologous to human NKX2-5 (NK2 homeobox 5).
