| 18092 | P43688 | NKX26_MOUSE | Homeobox protein Nkx-2.6 (Homeobox protein NK-2 homolog F) | DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE | No visible phenotype; possibly due to the redundancy with NKX2-6. Mutant mice are viable and fertile. No obvious abnormalities in the caudal pharyngeal pouch derivatives (thymus, parathyroid glands, and thyroid gland), heart and gut. In NKX2-5 and NKX2-6 double mutants, the pharynx does not form properly and the development of the atrium is less advanced. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10733590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11390666}. |
