Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of the bicoid subfamily of the paired homeobox transcription factor family. The encoded protein is critical to the maintenance and regionalization of the forebrain and midbrain during development. It may also have important functions in sense organ development, pituitary function, and in the regulation of blood cell production. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
