Gene information for HOXB6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3216
Official gene symbolHOXB6
Full namehomeobox B6
Aliases,HOX2,HOX2B,HU-2,Hox-2.2,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a 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, including that of lung and skin, and has been localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Altered expression of this gene or a change in the subcellular localization of its protein is associated with some cases of acute myeloid leukemia and colorectal cancer. [provided by RefSeq]
