    basic FUNCTION
  • may be regulating gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation
  • playing a pivotal role in normal hematopoietic-lineage determination and regulation
  • involved in regulating decidualization
  • master regulator of postnatal hematopoietic development
  • had an important role in induction of apoptosis by the Abl kinase inhibitors in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells
  • transcription factor that is crucial for development and patterning of the uterus during embryogenesis
  • required for uterine receptivity and implantation, and is a key regulator of decidualization )
  • early activator of bone gene expression which functions by facilitating the remodeling of chromatin
  • major differentiation factors of the NK-cell lineage, including HOXA9, HOXA10 and ID2, were (de)regulated via polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) which therefore contributes to T-cell leukemogenesis
  • facilitates myeloid progenitor expansion and impedes myeloid differentiation
  • is a homeodomain transcription factor that is involved in maintenance of the myeloid progenitor population and implicated in myeloid leukemogenesis
  • HOXA10 and HOXA13 are involved in the development of human genitalia
  • role for HOXA10 in terminating emergency granulopoiesis, suggesting an important contribution by Hox proteins to the innate immune response
  • HOXA10 and EMX2 are two transcription factors necessary for female Müllerian duct differentiation and development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with SIRT2
  • CAPN5 is a target of HOXA10 transcriptional regulation in endometrial cells
  • target of PHGDH regulation in endometrial cells
  • DUSP4 is a HOXA10 target gene
  • interaction with PBX1 (acting to reduce HOXA10-mediated transcriptional activation at bone-specific promoters)
  • TGFB2 is a HOXA10 target gene (HOXA10 activated TGFB2 transcription by interacting with tandem cis elements in the promoter)
  • ARIH2 has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and HOXA10-overexpressing myeloid cells exhibited a ARIH2-dependent increase in protein ubiquitination
  • CDX4 influenced transcription of HOXA10 target genes in a HOXA10-dependent manner
  • HOXA10 activates ITGB3 transcription in myeloid progenitor cells and differentiating phagocytes
  • FGF2 expression and secretion are regulated in a HOXA10-dependent manner in myeloid progenitor cells and differentiating phagocytes
  • HOXA9, HOXA10 are direct transcriptional targets of SETBP1
  • FGF2 and CDX4 are direct target genes of HOXA10 and HOXA10 is a CDX4 target gene
  • CTNNB1 activates the HOXA10 and CDX4 genes in myeloid progenitor cells
  • NKX2-5 mediates differential cardiac differentiation through interaction with HOXA10
  • HOXA10-mediated expression of MMP26 promotes embryo adhesion during the process of embryonic implantation
  • KMT2A collaborate with ESR1 to regulate HOXA10 expression in AML
  • CDX4 activates transcription of the HOXA9 and HOXA10 genes, and HOXA10 activates CDX4 transcription
  • HOXA10 actives transcription of the gene encoding ARIH2 during myeloid differentiation
  • EMX2 gene is a known direct target of HOXA10 in the reproductive tract
