Summary: In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation.

Study revealed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of HOXA6 were suppressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissues. Its overexpression suppresses cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis, which may occur via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/ERK cascade.
Title: HOXA6 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by suppressing the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Results demonstrated thatHOXA6 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) and promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, but inhibited apoptosis, whereas the downregulated expression of HOXA6 produced the opposite effects. HOXA6 regulated apoptosis through the Bcl-2 signaling pathway, and regulated migration and invasion through the EMT process.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
