Gene information for HOXC12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3228
Official gene symbolHOXC12
Full namehomeobox C12
Aliases,HOC3F,HOX3,HOX3F,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq]
