Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 15404 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and stem cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human HOXA7 (homeobox A7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and grossly normal with no apparent skeletal defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
