Homeobox protein Hox-A3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXA3 gene.[3][4][5]

Function

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. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.[5]

Regulation

The HOXA3 gene is repressed by the microRNA miR-10a.[6]
