ALX3
geneOn this page
Summary
ALX3 (ALX homeobox 3, HGNC:449) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p13.3, encoding Homeobox protein aristaless-like 3 (O95076). Transcriptional regulator with a possible role in patterning of mesoderm during development.
This gene encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain that functions as a transcriptional regulator involved in cell-type differentiation and development. Preferential methylation of this gene’s promoter is associated with advanced-stage neuroblastoma tumors.

Function. Transcriptional regulator with a possible role in patterning of mesoderm during development.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Frontonasal dysplasia 1 (FND1) [MIM:136760] The term frontonasal dysplasia describes an array of abnormalities affecting the eyes, forehead and nose and linked to midfacial dysraphia. The clinical picture is highly variable. Major findings include true ocular hypertelorism; broadening of the nasal root; median facial cleft affecting the nose and/or upper lip and palate; unilateral or bilateral clefting of the alae nasi; lack of formation of the nasal tip; anterior cranium bifidum occultum; a V-shaped or widow’s peak frontal hairline. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
