Literature on ALX1

ALX1 [ENSP00000315417]

ALX homeobox protein 1; Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor that binds palindromic sequences within promoters and may activate or repress the transcription of a subset of genes . Most probably regulates the expression of genes involved in the development of mesenchyme-derived craniofacial structures. Early on in development, it plays a role in forebrain mesenchyme survival . May also induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the expression of SNAI1 . ; Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
