Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; endothelial cell differentiation; and reproductive structure development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; intestine; limb; and limb bud. Used to study hand-foot-genital syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Guttmacher syndrome and hand-foot-genital syndrome. Orthologous to human HOXA13 (homeobox A13). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

HOX13-dependent chromatin accessibility underlies the transition towards the digit development program.
Title: HOX13-dependent chromatin accessibility underlies the transition towards the digit development program.
Our data also reveal a specific role for Hoxa13 in the urogenital sinus, which is in part mediated by Gata3, as well as Hoxa13 requirement for the proper organization of the ureter. Finally, we provide evidence that Hoxa13 provides positional and temporal cues during the development of the lower urogenital system, a sine qua non condition for the proper function of the urinary system.
Title: Multifaceted Hoxa13 function in urogenital development underlies the Hand-Foot-Genital Syndrome.
we report on the genome-wide profiling of HOXA13 and HOXD13 in vivo binding and changes of the transcriptome and chromatin state in the transition from the early to the late-distal limb developmental program, as well as in Hoxa13(-/-); Hoxd13(-/-) limbs.
Title: Distal Limb Patterning Requires Modulation of cis-Regulatory Activities by HOX13.
Data show that almost all muscle masses of the zeugopod (forearm) and part of the triceps contain homeobox protein HOXA13-expressing cells and/or their descendants.

Defects in interdigital programmed cell death and digit separation in Hoxa13 mutant mice may be caused in part by reduced levels of RA signaling stemming from a loss in the direct regulation of Aldh1a2
Title: HOXA13 regulates Aldh1a2 expression in the autopod to facilitate interdigital programmed cell death.
The data demonstrate that simvastatin contributes to prevent the progression of renal fibrosis by upregulating BMP-7-mediated anti-fibrotic signaling and that one aspect of crucial efficacies is achieved by regulating HOXA13 and USAG-1.
Title: 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor simvastatin ameliorates renal fibrosis through HOXA13-USAG-1 pathway.
The results show that overactivation of hedgehog signaling leads to abnormal development of the female reproductive tract, altered levels of Hoxa13 and Wnt5a mRNA, and an aberrant inflammatory response to mating.
Title: Dominant activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway alters development of the female reproductive tract.
Data show that the extra-embryonic function of Hoxa10, -11, and -13 genes stems from their specific expression in the allantois, an extra-embryonic hallmark of amniote vertebrates.
Title: Recruitment of 5' Hoxa genes in the allantois is essential for proper extra-embryonic function in placental mammals.
Data show that cis-regulatory elements driving Hoxd gene expression in distal limbs are present in fish.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
