About Hoxb6

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and erythrocyte homeostasis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human HOXB6 (homeobox B6).
