Full name: motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: HB9; HLXB9; HOXHB9; SCRA1

Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear protein, which contains a homeobox domain and is a transcription factor. Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome, an autosomic dominant congenital malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
