Gene information for HOXD3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3232
Official gene symbolHOXD3
Full namehomeobox D3
Aliases,HOX1D,HOX4,HOX4A,Hox-4.1,MGC10470,
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, located on different chromosomes, consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXD genes located at 2q31-2q37 chromosome regions. Deletions that removed the entire HOXD gene cluster or 5' end of this cluster have been associated with severe limb and genital abnormalities. The protein encoded by this gene may play a role in the regulation of cell adhesion processes. [provided by RefSeq]
