Related Product Information for
anti-NKX2A antibody
This gene encodes a protein initially identified as a thyroid-specific transcription factor. The encoded protein binds to the thyroglobulin promoter and regulates the expression of thyroid-specific genes but has also been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in morphogenesis. Mutations and deletions in this gene are associated with benign hereditary chorea, choreoathetosis, congenital hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress, and may be associated with thyroid cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. This gene shares the symbol/alias 'TTF1' with another gene, transcription termination factor 1, which plays a role in ribosomal gene transcription.

UniProt Comments for NKX2A
Transcription factor that binds and activates the promoter of thyroid specific genes such as thyroglobulin, thyroperoxidase, and thyrotropin receptor. Crucial in the maintenance of the thyroid differentiation phenotype. May play a role in lung development and surfactant homeostasis. Forms a regulatory loop with GRHL2 that coordinates lung epithelial cell morphogenesis and differentiation. Activates the transcription of GNRHR and plays a role in enhancing the circadian oscillation of its gene expression. Represses the transcription of the circadian transcriptional repressor NR1D1 ().
Research Articles on NKX2A
1. NKX2-1 expression was upregulated in never-smokers , lung adenocarcinoma and patients with wild-type TP53. A negative correlation between NKX2-1 and miR-365 expression was found but there was no correlation between NKX2-1 and miR-33a expression. NKX2-1 expression impacts prognosis in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients, particularly in those with neither TP53 nor KRAS mutations.
