关于 HOXA4

功能概要

在脊椎动物中，编码称为同源盒基因的转录因子类的基因位于四个独立染色体上名为 A、B、C 和 D 的簇中。这些蛋白质的表达在胚胎发育过程中受到时空调控。该基因是 7 号染色体 A 簇的一部分，编码 DNA 结合转录因子，可调节基因表达、形态发生和分化。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
