| Primary Identifier | MGI:1921811 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 74561 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell fate determination and negative regulation of epithelial cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ear; and gut. Orthologous to human NKX6-3 (NK6 homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a significantly decreased number of gastrin-producing (G) cells in the stomach antrum, hypogastrinemia, and increased stomach luminal pH, with a corresponding increase in antral somatostatin-producing (D) cells.
