NKX3-2

NK3 homeobox 2 also known as NKX3-2 is a human is_associated_with::gene. It is a homolog of bagpipe(bap) in Drosophila and therefore also known as Bapx1 (bagpipe homeobox homolog 1). The is_associated_with::protein encoded by this gene is a homeo domain containing is_associated_with::transcription factor.

Function
NKX3-2 plays a role in the development of the skeleton. Nkx3-2 in mice also regulates patterning in the middle ear.
