BARX1, Official Symbol BARX1provided by HGNC Official Full Name BARX homeobox 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:955 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000131668 MIM:603260; AllianceGenome:HGNC:955 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a member of the Bar subclass of homeobox transcription factors. Studies of the mouse and chick homolog suggest the encoded protein may play a role in developing teeth and craniofacial mesenchyme of neural crest origin. The protein may also be associated with differentiation of stomach epithelia.
