The Hox proteins are a family of transcription factors that play a role in development and cellular differentiation by regulating downstream target genes. Specifically, the Hox proteins direct DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions that assist in determining the morphologic features associated with the anterior-posterior body axis. Hox proteins are involved in controlling axial patterning, leukemias and hereditary malformations. HoxB5 (homeobox protein Hox-B5), also known as HOX2, HU-1, HOX2A, Hox2.1 or HHO.C10, is a member of the Antp homeobox (Hox) family. It is a 269 amino acid long nuclear protein expressed in the central nervous system. HoxB5 contains one homeobox DNAbinding domain and plays a role in the regulation of lung and gut development, providing cells with positional identities on the anterior-posterior body axis.
