HOXD8 - Hoxd8 homeobox D8 Gene

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXD8 (homeobox D8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
