  2. Hox gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_gene

    Hox genes, a subset of homeobox genes, are a group of related genes that specify regions of the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis of animals. Hox proteins encode and specify the characteristics of 'position', ensuring that the correct structures form in the correct places of the body.

  3. HOXA11-AS1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOXA11-AS1

    HOXA11-AS lncRNA is a long non-coding RNA from the antisense strand in the homeobox A (HOXA gene). The HOX gene contains four clusters (A, B, C, and D). The sense strand of the HOXA gene codes for proteins. Alternative names for HOXA11-AS lncRNA are: HOXA-AS5, HOXA11S, HOXA11-AS1, HOXA11AS, or NCRNA00076.

  4. HOXA9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOXA9

    Homeobox protein Hox-A9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXA9 gene. [5] [6] 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 ...

  5. HOXB13 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOXB13

    This gene and other HOXB genes form a gene cluster on chromosome 17 in the 17q21.32 region. [6] Men who inherit a rare (<0.1% in a selected group of patients without clinical signs of prostate cancer ) genetic variant in HOXB13 (G84E or rs138213197) have a 10-20-fold increased risk of prostate cancer.

  6. Homeotic gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeotic_gene

    Hox genes are found in bilateral animals, including Drosophila (in which they were first discovered) and humans. Hox genes are a subset of the homeobox genes. The Hox genes are often conserved across species, so some of the Hox genes of Drosophila are homologous to those in humans. In general, Hox genes play a role of regulating expression of ...

  7. HOXC6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOXC6

    Homeobox protein Hox-C6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXC6 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Hox-C6 expression is highest in the fallopian tube and ovary. [ 8 ] HoxC6 has been highly expressed in many types of cancers including prostate, breast, and esophageal squamous cell cancer.

  8. HOXB6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOXB6

    HOXB6 gene is only expressed in erythroid progenitor cells, which are the precursor to red blood cells used for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. During development, the formation of the HOX gene factor happens in the first stages of fetal development , namely soon after the establishment of the mesoderm , which is the ...

  9. Homeobox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeobox

    [18] [19] The regulation of Hox genes is highly complex and involves reciprocal interactions, mostly inhibitory. Drosophila is known to use the polycomb and trithorax complexes to maintain the expression of Hox genes after the down-regulation of the pair-rule and gap genes that occurs during larval development.
