Gene information for HOXA1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3198
Official gene symbolHOXA1
Full namehomeobox A1
Aliases,BSAS,HOX1,HOX1F,MGC45232,
Gene summaryIn vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. The encoded protein may be involved in the placement of hindbrain segments in the proper location along the anterior-posterior axis during development. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene, with only one of the isoforms containing the homeodomain region. [provided by RefSeq]
