Synonyms | Csx, Nkx-2.5, Nkx2e |
Function | Transcription factor required for the development of the heart and the spleen (PubMed:16556915, PubMed:19483677, PubMed:22560297, PubMed:9584153). During heart development, acts as a transcriptional activator of NPPA/ANF in cooperation with GATA4 (PubMed:9584153). May cooperate with TBX2 to negatively modulate expression of NPPA/ANF in the atrioventricular canal (PubMed:12023302). Binds to the core DNA motif of NPPA promoter (PubMed:19483677). Together with PBX1, required for spleen development through a mechanism that involves CDKN2B repression (PubMed:22560297). Positively regulates transcription of genes such as COL3A1 and MMP2, resulting in increased pulmonary endothelial fibrosis in response to hypoxia (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Predominantly in the adult and embryonic heart, and to a lesser extent in lingual muscle, spleen and stomach |

Background
Implicated in commitment to and/or differentiation of the myocardial lineage. Acts as a transcriptional activator of ANF in cooperation with GATA4. It is transcriptionally controlled by PBX1 and acts as a transcriptional repressor of CDKN2B. Together with PBX1, it is required for spleen development through a mechanism that involves CDKN2B repression.
