NOTO
protein-codingnotochord homeobox, the group of NKL subclass homeoboxes and pseudogenes
Gene summary
Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in brain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic organ development; motile cilium assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001134462.2. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Transcription regulator acting downstream of both FOXA2 and Brachyury (T) during notochord development. Required for node morphogenesis. Is essential for cilia formation in the posterior notochord (PNC) and for left-right patterning; acts upstream of FOXJ1 and RFX3 in this process and is required for the expression of various components important for axonemal assembly and function. Plays a role in regulating axial versus paraxial cell fate. Activates the transcription of ciliary proteins C11orf97 homolog, FAM183B and SPACA9 in the embryonic ventral node (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5TIS6}.;
