In this article we will address the issue of HOXD1, which has become increasingly relevant in recent years. HOXD1 is a topic that has aroused great interest in both the scientific community and society in general, due to its impact in various areas. From its origins to its current evolution, HOXD1 has been the subject of multiple investigations and debates that seek to understand its influence on our environment. Throughout this article we will explore different aspects related to HOXD1, analyzing its importance, its implications and the possible future perspectives that this topic may offer.
Homeobox protein Hox-D1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXD1gene.[5][6][7]
This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. This nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in differentiation and limb development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with severe developmental defects on the anterior-posterior (a-p) limb axis.[7]
