Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; cranial ganglion; eye; genitourinary system; and peripheral nervous system. Used to study oculoauricular syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculoauricular syndrome. Orthologous to human HMX1 (H6 family homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Hoxa2, Meis and Pbx proteins act cooperatively on the ECR, via a core 32 bp sequence, to regulate Hmx1 expression.
Title: A distal 594 bp ECR specifies Hmx1 expression in pinna and lateral facial morphogenesis and is regulated by the Hox-Pbx-Meis complex.
EPHA6, a gene implicated in retinal axon guidance, is one of HMX1 targets in eye development.
Title: A dimerized HMX1 inhibits EPHA6/epha4b in mouse and zebrafish retinas.
The Hmx1-miR-204/miR-211 signaling axis contributes to immune suppression in candidemia-induced kidney dysfunction.
Title: MiR-204/miR-211 downregulation contributes to candidemia-induced kidney injuries via derepression of Hmx1 expression.
Gene expression analysis between wild-type and dmbo mice allowed us to develop a predictive promoter model that identified the first target genes of Hmx1.
Title: Identification of HMX1 target genes: a predictive promoter model approach.
The homeobox transcription factor HMX1 represses Tlx3 and Ret, induces TrkA and maintains tyrosine hydroxylase (Th) expression in precursors, thus driving segregation of the noradrenergic sympathetic fate.
Title: The transcription factor Hmx1 and growth factor receptor activities control sympathetic neurons diversification.
Loss of Hmx1 expression results in marked defects in the geniculate (VII) ganglion
Title: Hmx1 is required for the normal development of somatosensory neurons in the geniculate ganglion.
The mutant Hmx1 alleles represent the first mouse models of a recently-discovered Oculo-Auricular syndrome caused by mutation of the orthologous human gene.

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.
