Also known as NKX6BGTXNKX6.1
Summary
NKX6-2 (NK6 homeobox 2, HGNC:19321) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.3, encoding Homeobox protein Nkx-6.2 (Q9C056). Transcription factor with repressor activity involved in the regulation of axon-glial interactions at myelin paranodes in oligodendrocytes.
Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of myelination. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system myelination; pancreatic A cell differentiation; and regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Implicated in spastic ataxia 8.

Disease relevance. Spastic ataxia 8, autosomal recessive, with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (SPAX8) [MIM:617560] An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset hypotonia which progresses to a pyramidal syndrome with ataxia, spasticity, hyperreflexia, weakness and loss of ambulation. Brain imaging shows cerebellar atrophy and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
