Homeobox protein DLX-3
Function
Transcriptional activator (By similarity). Activates transcription of GNRHR, via binding to the downstream activin regulatory element (DARE) in the gene promoter (By similarity).
Involvement in disease
Trichodentoosseous syndrome
TDO
An autosomal dominant disease characterized by curly kinky hair at birth, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, thickening of cortical bones and variable expression of craniofacial morphology.
