The encoded protein is a member of the NKX family of homeodomain transcription factors. Studies of similar proteins in mouse and rat have indicated a potential role in cellular differentiation.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010] Expression Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 11.9), small intestine (RPKM 4.8) and 5 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
