geneOn this page
Also known as HB9HOXHB9SCRA1
Summary
MNX1 (motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1, HGNC:4979) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q36.3, encoding Motor neuron and pancreas homeobox protein 1 (P50219). Transcription factor. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a nuclear protein, which contains a homeobox domain and is a transcription factor. Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome, an autosomic dominant congenital malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Transcription factor. Recognizes and binds to the regulatory elements of target genes, such as visual system homeobox CHX10, negatively modulating transcription. Plays a role in establishing motor neuron identity, in concert with LIM domain transcription factor LMO4. Involved in negatively modulating transcription of interneuron genes in motor neurons, acting, at least in part, by blocking regulatory sequence interactions of the ISL1-LHX3 complex. Involved in pancreas development and function; may play a role in pancreatic cell fate specification.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in lymphoid and pancreatic tissues.
Disease relevance. Currarino syndrome (CURRAS) [MIM:176450] The triad of a presacral tumor, sacral agenesis and anorectal malformation constitutes the Currarino syndrome which is caused by dorsal-ventral patterning defects during embryonic development. The syndrome occurs in the majority of patients as an autosomal dominant trait. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 29 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
