MEOX1 Gene (Protein Coding)

Mesenchyme Homeobox 1

GC17M043640
GIFtS:
42
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the molecular signaling network regulating somite development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

GeneCards Summary for MEOX1 Gene

MEOX1 (Mesenchyme Homeobox 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MEOX1 include Klippel-Feil Syndrome 2, Autosomal Recessive and Isolated Klippel-Feil Syndrome. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include DNA-binding transcription factor activity and chromatin binding. An important paralog of this gene is MEOX2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for MEOX1 Gene

  • Mesodermal transcription factor that plays a key role in somitogenesis and is specifically required for sclerotome development. Required for maintenance of the sclerotome polarity and formation of the cranio-cervical joints (PubMed:23290072, PubMed:24073994). Binds specifically to the promoter of target genes and regulates their expression. Activates expression of NKX3-2 in the sclerotome. Activates expression of CDKN1A and CDKN2A in endothelial cells, acting as a regulator of vascular cell proliferation. While it activates CDKN1A in a DNA-dependent manner, it activates CDKN2A in a DNA-independent manner. Required for hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) induction via its role in somitogenesis: specification of HSCs occurs via the deployment of a specific endothelial precursor population, which arises within a sub-compartment of the somite named endotome.
