CEH-23

WormBase ID: WBGene00000446

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of several human genes including DLX2 (distal-less homeobox 2); DLX3 (distal-less homeobox 3); and NANOG (Nanog homeobox). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in determination of adult lifespan and positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter involved in neuron differentiation. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in intestine; nervous system; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 4; orofacial cleft 15; and split hand-foot malformation 1 with sensorineural hearing loss.

Inferred TF relationships

Based on expression similarity (strong, medium, weak): NA


Based on ChIP-seq (directly from ModERN database, targets from L1 stage ChIP-seq data are underlined)

Targeting: no-data

Targeted by: NA

Based on reannotated ChIP-seq (peaks are assigned to a target if it is located within 2 kb relative to the transcription start site; targets from L1 stage ChIP-seq data are underlined)
