PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • integrity of the N-terminal 31 AAs of HOXD13, excluding the polyalanine tract, is crucial to the stability of the protein
  • helix-turn-helix, DNA binding domain
  • two serine stretches and one alanine stretch
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Hoxd13 (95.3pc)
    homolog to rattus Hoxd13 (95.3pc)

    basic FUNCTION
  • specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis
  • may regulate the expression of FHL1 in the development of idiopathic congenital clubfoot
  • promotes pre-replication complex proteins assembly at origins and stimulates DNA synthesis
  • pivotal role of HOXA13 and HOXD13 proteins in the transition from a proximal to a distal type of HOXD transcriptional regulation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
