Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; mesenchymal cell development; and roof of mouth development. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb primordium; and nose. Orthologous to human ALX1 (ALX homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Scapula development is governed by genetic interactions of Pbx1 with its family members and with Emx2 via their cooperative control of Alx1

p300/CBP stimulate Cart1-dependent transcription activity, and this transactivation is inhibited by E1A and Tax, oncoproteins that suppress the activity of p300/CBP
Title: P300/CBP acts as a coactivator to cartilage homeoprotein-1 (Cart1), paired-like homeoprotein, through acetylation of the conserved lysine residue adjacent to the homeodomain.
We now demonstrate the function of the aristaless domain in vivo by ectopically expressing normal and mutated forms of Cart1 and Alx3
Title: The OAR/aristaless domain of the homeodomain protein Cart1 has an attenuating role in vivo.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
