About HOXB3

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:48,548,870-48,590,241 (from NCBI)

This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 187 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 1.6), fat (RPKM 1.3) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with a distinct biologic subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
