High impact information on hox36

• We sought to determine whether the expression of the homeobox protein/s during mouse embryonic development was specific to beta cells or, alternatively, whether XlHbox 8/STF-1 protein/s were initially expressed by multipotential precursors and only later became restricted to the insulin-containing cells [1].
• The homeobox containing transcript Xhox-36 is expressed exclusively in the posterior mesoderm and ectoderm of early Xenopus embryos [2].
• Retinoic acid induces changes in the localization of homeobox proteins in the antero-posterior axis of Xenopus laevis embryos [3].
• A search for homeobox-containing genes was done in the genome of a primitive metazoan, the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus [4].
• A chromosomal walk which links a previously described and a new homeobox to the Hox-2 murine homeobox gene cluster is described, and the nucleotide sequence of the new homeobox is presented [5].

Biological context of hox36

• A novel homeobox RHbox#13A is different from the Drosophila Antennapedia (Antp) sequence but is highly similar to the XlHbox8 (Xenopus laevis) and HtrA2 (Helobdella triserialis) homeoboxes [6].

Other interactions of hox36

• Transcripts of the dorsal lip specific homeobox gene, goosecoid, and alpha-cardiac actin were detectable by PCR amplification in the animal quartet with a protrusion, and alpha-cardiac actin mRNA was found by whole-mount in situ hybridization to be localized in the protrusion [7].
