homeobox protein DBX1 (developing brain homeobox protein 1, DBX1)

Function

• role in patterning the central nervous system during embryogenesis (putative)
• role in regulating the distinct phenotypic features that distinguish two major classes of ventral interneurons, V0 & V1 neurons
• regulates the transcription factor profile, neurotransmitter phenotype, intraspinal migratory path & axonal trajectory of V0 neurons, features that differentiate them from an adjacent set of V1 neurons (putative)

Structure

• belongs to the H2.0 homeobox family
• contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain

Compartment

nucleus (putative)
