Gene:
Meis1, myeloid ecotropic viral integration site 1 homolog (mouse)
Gene ID:
208971
Symbol:
MEIS1
Species:
1000
Description:
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. MEIS1 encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins.
