Hoxa3 - homeobox A3

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and HMG box domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; blood vessel remodeling; and glossopharyngeal nerve morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome. Orthologous to human HOXA3 (homeobox A3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
