Function

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing transcription factor genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the molecular signaling network regulating somite development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.^[6]

Interactions

MEOX1 has been shown to interact with PAX1^[7] and PAX3.^[7]
