Pbx1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes a homeobox protein that belongs to the three-amino-acid loop extension/Pre-B cell leukemia transcription factor (TALE/PBX) family of proteins. The encoded protein is involved in several biological processes during embryogenesis including steroidogenesis, sexual development and the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein functions in the development of several organ systems and plays a role in skeletal patterning and programming. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pbx1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
