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.
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 ...

The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters , HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, located on different chromosomes , consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem.
This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17 . The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in lung and gut development.

The homeotic selector genes were discovered through the genetic analysis of Drosophila over 80 years ago [citation needed].Unusual disturbances were found in the organization of the adult fly, resulting in misplaced limbs, such as legs developing where antennae usually develop or an extra pair of wings developing where halteres should be.
