NKX-homeodomain factor

NKX-homeodomain factors are a family of homeodomain transcription factors that are critical regulators of organ development.^[1]

Human genes that encode NKX-homeodomain factors include:

• NKX1-1, NKX1-2
• NKX2-1, NKX2-2, NKX2-4, NKX2-8
• NKX3-1, NKX3-2
• NKX6-1, NKX6-2, NKX6-3
