Gene Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including genital disc development; male pigmentation; and reproductive structure development. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome band. Is expressed in several structures, including adult posterior abdominal ganglion neurons; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; epithelium; genital disc; and somatic trunk mesoderm derivative. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital vertical talus and radioulnar synostosis. Orthologous to several human genes including HOXA10 (homeobox A10); HOXA11 (homeobox A11); and HOXC10 (homeobox C10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
