CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis
	potentially playing an essential role in regulating B lymphopoiesis
	plays important roles in embryogenesis and it has a complex transcription profile of mRNAs, non-coding RNAs and anti-sense RNAs

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binds to DNMT3B and increases its expression and in turn, is recruited to the RASSF1A promoter, resulting in hypermethylation and silencing of RASSF1A expression (

cell & other

REGULATION

Other

multiple non-coding RNAs could be involved in the regulation of HOXB3
