About Hoxb4

Summary

Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; and somatic stem cell division. Predicted to be located in centrosome and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and skin. Orthologous to human HOXB4 (homeobox B4).
