Immunoprecipitation of HOXB9 transfected lysate using anti-HOXB9 monoclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead, and immunoblotted with HOXB9 MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody.
This gene is a member of the Abd-B homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Increased expression of this gene is associated with some cases of leukemia, prostate cancer and lung cancer. [provided by RefSeq
