About Hoxa1

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to ethanol; cellular response to retinoic acid; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and gut. Used to study Athabaskan brainstem dysgenesis syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Athabaskan brainstem dysgenesis syndrome and autistic disorder. Orthologous to human HOXA1 (homeobox A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
