Description
The HOXC12 (homeobox C12) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
HOXC12 is a gene that encodes a protein called Homeobox C12. It's part of the homeobox gene family, which contains genes that control development in all multicellular organisms. This family consists of four clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, and HOXD, each located on a different chromosome and containing 9-11 genes arranged in a specific order. HOXC12 is one of several HOXC genes found on chromosome 12.
HOXC12 is also known as HOC3F, HOX3, HOX3F.
