NCIt definition : Human NKX3-1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8p21 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes homeobox protein Nkx-3.1, plays a role
in the suppression of transcription by RNA polymerase II, the proliferation of glandular
epithelium and the development of ducts in the prostate.;
NCIt note : The NKX3-1 gene product binds to the consensus sequence 5'-TAAGT[AG]-3' (GeneCards).;
