Modification Notes
The homeobox gene Nkx-3.2, also designated Bapx1, is the human homolog of Drosophila bagpipe, which, in conjunction with tinman, determines cell fate in the dorsal mesoderm. In mammalian species, Nkx-3.2 is a key transcription factor that regulates the development of smooth muscle tissues and skeletal structures. Specifically, Nkx-3.2 regulates spleen development and the development of the axial skeleton. It is also considered as an early marker for prechondrogenic cells. The human Nkx-3.2 gene maps to chromosome 4p16.1, a region containing loci for several skeletal diseases. Nkx-3.2 null mice exhibit skeletal dysplasia, asplenia, and gastroduodenal malformation, with abnormal development of the vertebral column and cranial bones of mesodermal origin. During axial cartilage formation, Nkx-3.2 inhibits the actions of Shh, a factor that interferes with the prochondrogenic effects of the BMPs.
