Example sentences for: homeobox

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

Vertebrate HB genes are divided into two classes: Class I genes (HOX genes) are organized into four clusters (HOX A, B, C, D) with a total of 39 members [ 8 ] . Members of Class II are also called divergent genes, including genes such as PAX, MSX, IRX, and DLX, named after their homologs in Drosophila (paired, muscle segment, Iroquois, and distal-less, respectively) [ 9 10 ] . Accumulating evidence suggests that homeobox genes are important in malignant transformation.
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.
We have cloned a human homeobox cDNA called BP1, belonging to the DLX family.
For example, the link between homeobox proteins (PF00046) and other protein families.
Anecdotal examples, including pregnancy-associated glycoproteins, trophoblast interferons, the Pem and Psx homeobox genes, and the placental lactogen genes support the notion that 'placental genes' evolve rapidly [ 12 13 14 15 16 17 ] , but counter-examples can also be adduced.
