Members of the Dlx gene family contain a homeobox that is related to that of Distal-less (Dll), a gene expressed in the head and limbs of the developing fruit fly. The Distal-less (Dlx) family of genes comprises at least 6 different members, DLX1-DLX6. The DLX proteins are postulated to play a role in forebrain and craniofacial development. Three transcript variants have been described for this gene, however, the full length nature of one variant has not been described. Studies of the two splice variants revealed that one encoded isoform functions as a repressor of the beta-globin gene while the other isoform lacks that function.

During embryonic development, plays a role in palatogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11909945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25954033}. |Homeobox| |DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |negative regulation of gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp289|Hydroxyurea 15μM R06 exp289]]|-2.02| |[[:results:exp116|AICAR 240μM R03 exp116]]|-1.85| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
