Homeobox protein Meis1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEIS1 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

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. [6]

Interactions

MEIS1 has been shown to interact with PBX1 [7] [8] [9] and HOXA9. [7] [10]
