(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3213
Official gene symbolHOXB3
Full namehomeobox B3
Aliases,HOX2,HOX2G,Hox-2.7,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with a distinct biologic subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [provided by RefSeq]
