About HOXB6

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:48,595,751-48,604,986 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 151 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 11.8), colon (RPKM 5.2) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a 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 development, including that of lung and skin, and has been localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Altered expression of this gene or a change in the subcellular localization of its protein is associated with some cases of acute myeloid leukemia and colorectal Cancer.
