Gene information for HOXA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3199
Official gene symbolHOXA2
Full namehomeobox A2
Aliases,HOX1K,
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. [provided by RefSeq]
