Meox1 - mesenchyme homeobox 1

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and sclerotome development. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and somite specification. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Klippel-Feil syndrome 2. Orthologous to human MEOX1 (mesenchyme homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
