Scope note: Genes que codifican FACTORES DE TRANSCRIPCIÓN altamente conservados que controlan la identidad de posición de las células (MODELADO DEL CUERPO) y la MORFOGÉNESIS durante el desarrollo. Sus secuencias contienen una secuencia de 180 nucleótidos denominada caja homeótica porque las mutaciones de estos genes con frecuencia producen transformaciones homeóticas en las que una estructura del cuerpo sustituye a otra. Las proteínas codificadas por los genes homeobox se denominan PROTEÍNAS DE HOMEODOMINIO.

Scope note: Genes that encode highly conserved TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS that control positional identity of cells (BODY PATTERNING) and MORPHOGENESIS throughout development. Their sequences contain a 180 nucleotide sequence designated the homeobox, so called because mutations of these genes often results in homeotic transformations, in which one body structure replaces another. The proteins encoded by homeobox genes are called HOMEODOMAIN PROTEINS.
