Gene information for HOXA7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3204
Official gene symbolHOXA7
Full namehomeobox A7
Aliases,ANTP,HOX1,HOX1.1,HOX1A,
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. For example, the encoded protein represses the transcription of differentiation-specific genes during keratinocyte proliferation, but this repression is then overcome by differentiation signals. This gene is highly similar to the antennapedia (Antp) gene of Drosophila. [provided by RefSeq]
