Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and regionalization. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXB2 (homeobox B2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

HOXBES2 expression could be regulated by androgens, and its expression level is closely associated with the postnatal development of the epididymis.
Title: Postnatal expression and androgen regulation of HOXBES2 homeoprotein in rat epididymis.
We have identified and characterized a novel epididymal homeoprotein different from HOXB2 protein and hereafter referred to as HOXBES2, (HOXB2 homeodomain containing epididymis-specific sperm protein) with a probable role in fertilization.

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.
