Homeobox protein Nkx-3.1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKX3-1 gene.[1]

The homeodomain-containing transcription factor NKX3A is a putative prostate tumor suppressor that is expressed in a largely prostate-specific and androgen-regulated manner. Loss of NKX3A protein expression is a common finding in human prostate carcinomas and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.[supplied by OMIM][2]
