Dachshund is a human homologue of Drosophila melanogaster dachshund, which is a nuclear factor essential for determining cell fates in the eye, leg, and nervous system. Mouse Dachshund protein was immunolocalized to specific cell types within the developing kidneys, eyes, cochleae, and limb buds (1). Dachshund was found to be expressed in breast cancer cell lines and to inhibit transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced apoptosis. Dachshund participates in the negative regulation of TGF-beta signaling by interacting with NCoR and Smad4 (2).
