Hoxa4 - homeobox A4

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor 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 and embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and skin. Orthologous to human HOXA4 (homeobox A4).
