Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Contributes to transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic nail plate morphogenesis; face morphogenesis; and negative regulation of odontoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; regulation of gene expression; and skeletal system development. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in nuclear periphery. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study orofacial cleft and tooth agenesis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleft lip; cleft palate; orofacial cleft 5; tooth and nail syndrome; and tooth disease (multiple). Orthologous to human MSX1 (msh homeobox 1).

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.
