High impact information on hoxb5a

We present evidence that a RA signal is necessary during pre-segmentation stages for proper expression of the spinal cord markers hoxb5a and hoxb6b, suggesting an influence of RA on anteroposterior patterning of the neural plate posterior to the hindbrain [1].
The region between the zebrafish homeobox genes hox-B5 and hox-B6 was sequenced, and searched for consensus binding sites of retinoic acid receptors and other transcription factors [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of hoxb5a
