About HOXB7

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:48,607,232-48,611,017 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 166 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 10.0), colon (RPKM 8.7) and 15 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 nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Increased expression of this gene is associated with some cases of melanoma and ovarian carcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
