About HOXB4

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:48,575,507-48,578,350 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 169 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 4.1), lung (RPKM 2.6) and 19 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. Intracellular or ectopic expression of this protein expands hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in vivo and in vitro, making it a potential candidate for therapeutic stem cell expansion.
