Homeobox protein Hox-A13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXA13 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of

embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation.[7]

Clinical significance

Expansion of a polyalanine tract in the encoded protein can cause

Barrett’s esophagus, a form of metaplasia that is a direct precursor to esophageal cancer.[9]
