HOXA4

Homeobox A4, also known as HOXA4, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the HOXA4 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of is_associated_with::transcription factors called is_associated_with::homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during is_associated_with::embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate is_associated_with::gene expression, is_associated_with::morphogenesis, and differentiation.
