Nk6, a novel Drosophila homeobox gene regulated by vnd.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Aug 2002

Uhler Jay, Garbern James, Yang Li, Kamholz John, Mellerick Dervla M

Abstract excerpt

Nk(x)-type homeobox genes are an evolutionarily conserved family that regulate diverse developmental processes. Here we describe a novel Drosophila gene, Nk6, which encodes an Nk-type transcription factor most homologous to vertebrate Nkx6.1 and Nkx6.2. The homeodomains and NK decapeptide domains of all three proteins are highly conserved. Nk6 is expressed in the embryonic brain, ventral nerve cord, hindgut, and...
