Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. It was reported that choriocarcinoma cell lines and tissues failed to express this gene, which suggested the possible involvement of this gene in malignant conversion of placental trophoblasts. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may interact with serum response factor (SRF) and modulate SRF-dependent cardiac-specific gene expression and cardiac development. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
Expression: Biased expression in skin (RPKM 80.6), esophagus (RPKM 62.3) and 8 other tissues See more

Study revealed that ZNF750 is both necessary and sufficient for HOPX induction and propose that HOPX functions as a positive regulator of epidermal late differentiation within a p63-ZNF750-HOPX pathway to up-regulate the key proteins required for terminal epidermal differentiation, providing clarity to previous studies showing conflicting results.

In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lungs, HOPX expression was decreased in whole lungs and significantly correlated to a decline in lung function and progression of IPF. HOPX is upregulated during early alveolar injury and repair process in the lung. Decreased HOPX expression might contribute to failed regenerative processes in end-stage IPF lungs.

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.
