同源盒基因在正常发育过程中起着至关重要的作用，其中HOX基因是最具特征的一类另外，一些同源蛋白也参与了肿瘤的发生该基因编码一种同源框蛋白，属于含有同源域的蛋白质的Tale（“三氨基酸环延伸”）家族。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
