MEOX1 mesenchyme homeobox 1

Gene ID: 4222, updated on 10-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KFS2; MOX1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the molecular signaling network regulating somite development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
