Hoxc5 - homeobox C5

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 development. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human HOXC5 (homeobox C5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
