Gene information for HOXA6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3203
Official gene symbolHOXA6
Full namehomeobox A6
Aliases,HOX1,HOX1.2,HOX1B,
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. [provided by RefSeq]
