Full name: homeobox D4

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: 6030436D05Rik; Hox-4.2; Hox-5.1

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 anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HOXD4 (homeobox D4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
