DUXA
Description
The DUXA (double homeobox A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
DUXA is a human gene that encodes a protein with a double homeobox domain. This protein functions as a transcription factor, which means it can bind to DNA and regulate the expression of other genes. Specifically, DUXA acts as a repressor, meaning it suppresses the activity of other genes.
DUXA acts as a repressor, regulating gene expression by inhibiting transcription.
