DUXAP8
Description
The DUXAP8 (double homeobox A pseudogene 8) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 22.
The DUXAP8 gene encodes a protein in humans. Homeobox genes, like DUXAP8, produce proteins that bind to DNA and are believed to play a significant role in the early stages of embryonic development. DUXAP8 is part of the DUXA homeobox gene family and contains a DNA-binding domain called the homeodomain, which is typically 60 to 63 amino acids long.
DUXAP8 is also known as -.
