Function

Homeobox genes, of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes, play a crucial role in normal development. In addition, several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins.[6]

Interactions

MEIS1 has been shown to interact with PBX1[7][8][9] and HOXA9.[7][10]
