background:
The protein encoded by this gene is an IRX family-related homeobox protein that may play a role in cell adhesion. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may be a regulator of tendon development. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
Function:
May act as a morphogenetic regulator of cell adhesion.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the TALE/IRO homeobox family.
Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
