How can you use “homeobox” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Homeobox genes of the Hox class are required for proper patterning of skeletal elements [ 7 ] . The functional role of Hox genes in skeletal growth and development has been clearly demonstrated, but how they control the differentiation of specific tissues is not well understood.
For example, the link between homeobox proteins (PF00046) and other protein families.
We have cloned a human homeobox cDNA called BP1, belonging to the DLX family.
We found a similar phenotype upon overexpression of Hoxd-4 in our transgenic system (Kappen, manuscript in preparation), whereas overexpression of the LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 did not cause abnormalities in cartilage but other developmental defects [ 1 9 ] . The observation that cartilage is affected by misregulation of Hoxc-8 and Hoxd-4, but not by a divergent homeobox gene, indicates that the capacity to regulate cartilage differentiation is specific to homeobox genes of the Hox subclass.
An important type of transcription factor contains a conserved region of 60 amino acids called the homeodomain (HD), encoded by a DNA region, the homeobox (HB).
