Target data

Function

Transcription factor (PubMed:22194193, PubMed:31691806). Binds to specific sequence motif 5'-TAATTA-3' in regulatory elements of target genes, such as histone demethylase KDM5C (PubMed:22194193, PubMed:31691806). Positively modulates transcription of KDM5C (PubMed:31691806). Activates expression of KDM5C synergistically with histone lysine demethylase PHF8 and perhaps in competition with transcription regulator ZNF711; synergy may be related to enrichment of histone H3K4me3 in regulatory elements (PubMed:31691806). Required for normal brain development (PubMed:11889467, PubMed:12379852, PubMed:14722918). Plays a role in neuronal proliferation, interneuronal migration and differentiation in the embryonic forebrain (By similarity). May also be involved in axonal guidance in the floor plate (By similarity).

Activity summary

The Arx protein also known as Aristaless related homeobox is a transcription factor encoded by the ARX gene. Its molecular mass is approximately 55 kDa. Arx is mainly expressed in the brain and pancreas where it plays roles in development. The protein contains a homeobox domain which allows it to bind DNA and regulate transcription. In neurons Arx modulates the development and differentiation affecting various neuronal populations.

Biological function summary

Arx influences the development of the central nervous system and pancreatic functions. Arx operates as part of a regulatory network that includes other transcription factors. It coordinates with these factors to manage the expression of genes required for neuronal subtype specification. In the pancreas Arx impacts the fate determination of endocrine cells particularly influencing alpha-cell development over beta-cell development.

Pathways

Arx is an important player in both the neuronal differentiation and endocrine development pathways. It interacts with proteins like Pax4 and Nkx2.2 within these pathways ensuring proper cell-type specification and differentiation. These pathways ensure the formation of diverse neuronal subclasses and appropriate distribution of endocrine cells in the pancreas.

Associated diseases and disorders

Arx is associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Mutations in the ARX gene can lead to X-linked intellectual disability and contribute to the development of epilepsy. In both conditions Arx's interaction with proteins such as DCX (Doublecortin) and LIS1 is significant as these proteins are implicated in neuronal migration and cortical development. Hence alterations in Arx function can disrupt these processes leading to neurological disorders.

    Paraffin-embedded human brain tissue stained for Arx using ab235060 at 1/100 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis.

    After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized tissue using an HRP conjugated SP system.
