Also known as: Hox-1.4
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; gut; nervous system; respiratory system; and skin. Orthologous to human HOXA4 (homeobox A4).

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.
