MEIS1(Meis homeobox 1),癌症关联基因,基因ID:4211,同源盒基因在正常发育过程中起着至关重要的作用,其中HOX基因是最具特征的一类另外,一些同源蛋白也参与了肿瘤的发生该基因编码一种同源框蛋白,属于含有同源域的蛋白质的Tale(“三氨基酸环延伸”)家族。[由RefSeq提供,2008年7月]Homeobox genes, of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes, play a crucial role in normal development. In addition, several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins.
