Full name: homeobox D3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Hox-4.1; Hox-5.5

Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glossopharyngeal nerve morphogenesis; skeletal system development; and thyroid gland development. Predicted to be located in aggresome and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human HOXD3 (homeobox D3).
