Also known as: Cdx3; Cdx-3; Cdx-4
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel development; labyrinthine layer development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and neural tube. Orthologous to human CDX4 (caudal type homeobox 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

a molecular mechanisms through which increased expression of HoxA10 increases Cdx4 expression by direct CDX4 activation and by Fgf2-induced beta-catenin activity. This results in Cdx4-induced HoxA10-expression, creating a positive feedback mechanism
Title: β-Catenin activates the HOXA10 and CDX4 genes in myeloid progenitor cells.
Compound mutants carrying one active Cdx2 allele in the Cdx4-null background (Cdx2/4), transgenic embryos precociously expressing Hox13 genes and a novel Wnt3a hypomorph mutant all manifest a comparable phenotype with similar uro-rectal defects
Title: Concerted involvement of Cdx/Hox genes and Wnt signaling in morphogenesis of the caudal neural tube and cloacal derivatives from the posterior growth zone.
Data suggest that cdx proteins affect cardiogenesis by regulating the formation of cardiogenic mesoderm.
Title: Interactions between Cdx genes and retinoic acid modulate early cardiogenesis.
positive feedback relationship between HoxA10 and Cdx4, which potentially amplified the contribution of either transcription factor to the pathogenesis of AML.
Title: HoxA10 activates CDX4 transcription and Cdx4 activates HOXA10 transcription in myeloid cells.
Cdx4 expression is significantly down regulated in Cdx2(-/-) mutants suggesting previously unrecognized cross-regulatory interactions.
Title: Cdx4 is a Cdx2 target gene.
Cdx factors are functionally redundant during mammalian hematopoietic development under homeostatic conditions. Cdx4 participates in MLL-AF9-mediated leukemogenesis supporting a role for Cdx factors in the pathogenesis of myeloid leukemia.
Title: Cdx4 is dispensable for murine adult hematopoietic stem cells but promotes MLL-AF9-mediated leukemogenesis.
Cdx genes function to maintain a signaling-dependent niche for the posterior axial progenitors.
Title: Cdx mutant axial progenitor cells are rescued by grafting to a wild type environment.
both Cdx4 and menin bind to the same regulatory region at the Hoxa9 locus in vivo, and co-activate the reporter gene driven by the Hoxa9 cis-elements that contain Cdx4 binding sites
Title: Cdx4 and menin co-regulate Hoxa9 expression in hematopoietic cells.
Transgenic embryos show Cdx transcription at 8.5 to 8.7 days within normal spatial domains for Cdx expression (primitive streak/tailbud), yet, overall, they contain elevated levels of Cdx proteins
Title: Increased Cdx protein dose effects upon axial patterning in transgenic lines of mice.
stromal cell and colony assay cultures of EB-derived hematopoietic progenitors subjected to ectopic expression of Cdx genes, Cdx4 enhances, whereas Cdx1 and Cdx2 inhibit hematopoietic activity, probably by blocking progenitor differentiation

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.
