HOXA4 - homeobox A4 Gene
Also Known as HOX1; HOX1D
Species: Homo sapiens
About HOXA4
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 188 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Broad expression in esophagus (RPKM 4.4), lung (RPKM 4.1) 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.
