Gene: HHEX

Alternate names for this Gene: HEX|HMPH|HOX11L-PEN|PRH|PRHX

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the homeobox family of transcription factors, many of which are involved in developmental processes. Expression in specific hematopoietic lineages suggests that this protein may play a role in hematopoietic differentiation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q23.33

Description of this Gene: hematopoietically expressed homeobox

Type of Gene: protein-coding
