Studies in mice suggest that this protein may be a regulator of tendon development. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: May act as a morphogenetic regulator of cell adhesion. {ECO:0000250}. |Homeobox KN| |muscle organ development| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |muscle structure development| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp277|Curcumin 6.5μM R06 exp277]]|-1.9| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
