HOXD1 homeobox D1

Gene ID: 3231, updated on 12-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HOX4; HOX4G; Hox-4.7

Summary

This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. This nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in differentiation and limb development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with severe developmental defects on the anterior-posterior (a-p) limb axis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
