MeSH Heading: Homeodomain Proteins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.260.400
Unique ID: D018398
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018398
Annotation: DNA-binding proteins
Scope Note: Proteins encoded by homeobox genes (GENES, HOMEOBOX) that exhibit structural similarity to certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins. Homeodomain proteins are involved in the control of gene expression during morphogenesis and development (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION, DEVELOPMENTAL).
Entry Term(s): Homeo Domain Protein; Homeo Domain Proteins; Homeobox Protein; Homeobox Proteins; Homeodomain Protein; Homeoprotein; Homeoproteins; Homeotic Protein; Homeotic Proteins
