Also known as

Summary
Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HOXC8 (homeobox C8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in genital fat pad adult (RPKM 8.3), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 6.3) and 10 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
