Summary: Enables HMG box domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; cartilage development; and embryonic organ morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; skin; and urinary system. Orthologous to human HOXC4 (homeobox C4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

In presence of these inducing agents, lipid accumulation as well as expression of HoxA1, HoxA5, HoxC4 &HoxC8 markedly enhanced. Irrespective of presence or absence of T3, insulin down regulates HoxA10. T3 results in over expression of HoxA5, HoxC4 and HoxC8 genes, whereas insulin up regulates expression of only HoxC8

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.
