Background
This gene encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similiar to the Drosophila distal-less gene. The encoded protein may play a role in bone development and fracture healing. Mutation in this gene, which is located in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the family on the long arm of chromosome 7, may be associated with split-hand/split-foot malformation.

Function
developmental stage:First expressed in embryos at 8.5-9 days in facial and branchial arch mesenchyme, otic vesicles and frontonasal ectoderm around olfactory placodes, a day later expression is seen in the developing forebrain in primordia of the ganglionic eminence and ventral diencephalic regions. In day 12.5 embryos, expressed in the brain and bones, and also in all skeletal structures of midgestation embryos after the first cartilage formation. Expression remains unaltered in both brain and skeleton in day 15 embryos and slowly decreases in day 17 embryos.,similarity:Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,subunit:Interacts with G22P1 (Ku70).,
