HOXD9 - homeobox D9 Gene
Also Known as HOX4; HOX4C; Hox-4.3; Hox-5.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About HOXD9
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 201 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Biased expression in endometrium (RPKM 16.0), kidney (RPKM 11.1) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, located on different chromosomes, consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXD genes located at 2q31-2q37 chromosome regions. Deletions that removed the entire HOXD gene cluster or 5' end of this cluster have been associated with severe limb and genital abnormalities. The exact role of this gene has not been determined.
