Full name: homeobox B7

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Hox-2.3

Summary: Enables DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human HOXB7 (homeobox B7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
