Homeobox protein Meis1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEIS1 gene. [3] [4]
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. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins. [4]
MEIS1 has been shown to interact with PBX1 [5] [6] [7] and HOXA9. [5] [8]
A homeobox is a DNA sequence, around 180 base pairs long, that regulates large-scale anatomical features in the early stages of embryonic development. For instance, mutations in a homeobox may change large-scale anatomical features of the full-grown organism.
