Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: Hox-2.4
Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of myeloid cell differentiation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dorsal spinal cord development; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and grooming behavior. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; and neural ectoderm. Used to study trichotillomania. Orthologous to human HOXB8 (homeobox B8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in adrenal adult (RPKM 49.5), genital fat pad adult (RPKM 24.0) and 6 other tissues See more

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.
