Anti-CDX1

This gene is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. The encoded DNA-binding protein regulates intestine-specific gene expression and enterocyte differentiation. It has been shown to induce expression of the intestinal alkaline phosphatase gene, and inhibit beta-catenin/T-cell factor transcriptional activity. Protein function: Plays a role in transcriptional regulation (PubMed:24623306). Involved in activated KRAS-mediated transcriptional activation of PRKD1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed:24623306). Binds to the PRKD1 promoter in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed:24623306). Could play a role in the terminal differentiation of the intestine. Binds preferentially to methylated DNA (PubMed:28473536). [The UniProt Consortium]
