High impact information on HOXD12

  • In particular, we have characterized the limb defects observed in mice with independent targeted disruptions of hoxd-12 and hoxd-13 [1].
  • Animals defective for hoxd-12 are viable, fertile, and appear outwardly normal yet have minor autopodal defects in the forelimb which include a reduction in the bone length of metacarpals and phalanges, and a malformation of the distal carpal bone d4 [1].
  • Two of them, HOX41 and HOX4H, clearly belong to the HOX gene family, in particular to homology groups 1 and 2, and possibly represent the most 5' HOX4 homeoboxes [2].
  • Screening of mutation by direct sequencing of candidate genes including Sonic hedgehog, HOXD-11, and HOXD-12 was unable to identify a disease-causing mutation [3].
 

Associations of HOXD12 with chemical compounds

  • Members of the 11, 12, and 13 paralogs do not cooperatively bind DNA with Pbx1a, despite the presence of tryptophan residues N-terminal to the homeodomain in Hoxd-12 and Hoxd-13 [4].
