NK3 transcription factor related, locus 1 (Drosophila), also known as NKX3-1, is a human gene.

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][1]
