DBX1 (Developing Brain Homeobox 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with DBX1 include Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, Congenital. Could have a role in patterning the central nervous system during embryogenesis. Has a key role in regulating the distinct phenotypic features that distinguish two major classes of ventral interneurons, V0 and V1 neurons. Regulates the transcription factor profile, neurotransmitter phenotype, intraspinal migratory path and axonal trajectory of V0 neurons, features that differentiate them from an adjacent set of V1 neurons (By similarity).
