Gene information for HOXA9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3205
Official gene symbolHOXA9
Full namehomeobox A9
Aliases,ABD-B,HOX1,HOX1.7,HOX1G,MGC1934,
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. This gene is highly similar to the abdominal-B (Abd-B) gene of Drosophila. A specific translocation event which causes a fusion between this gene and the NUP98 gene has been associated with myeloid leukemogenesis. [provided by RefSeq]
