HOXA2 - homeobox A2 Gene
Also Known as HOX1K; MCOHI
Species: Homo sapiens
About HOXA2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 96 orthologues, 42 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 1.2), fat (RPKM 0.8) and 19 other tissues.
Summary
In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. The encoded protein may be involved in the placement of hindbrain segments in the proper location along the anterior-posterior axis during development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
