gene: rnt-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and SMAD binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; positive regulation of locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within dopamine metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Part of core-binding activity factor complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; ray precursor cell; and seam cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); invasive ductal carcinoma; and osteochondrodysplasia (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RUNX2 (RUNX family transcription factor 2) and RUNX3 (RUNX family transcription factor 3).
