(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3215
Official gene symbolHOXB5
Full namehomeobox B5
Aliases,HHO.C10,HOX2,HOX2A,HU-1,Hox2.1,
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 lung and gut development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with a distinct biologic subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) tissue.
