Sander, Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California at Irvine, 4203 McGaugh Hall, Irvine, CA 92697-2300. E-mail: msander{at}uci.edu The Nkx6 gene family of homeodomain transcription factors consists of three members. For two, Nkx6.1 and Nkx6.2, important developmental roles in the central nervous system and pancreas have been demonstrated. Here we introduce the third member of the Nkx6 gene family, Nkx6.3, and identify similar and distinct patterns of expression for all three Nkx6 genes in the hindbrain and gut of the developing mouse embryo.
