Homeobox D10, also known as HOXD10, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HOXD10 gene.[5]

Function[edit]

This gene is a member of the Abd-B homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox D genes located on chromosome 2. The encoded nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is expressed in the developing limb buds and is involved in differentiation and limb development.

Clinical significance[edit]

Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilms' tumor and congenital vertical talus (also known as "rocker-bottom foot" deformity or congenital convex pes valgus) and/or a foot deformity resembling that seen in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.[5][citation needed]

Regulation[edit]

The HOXD10 gene is repressed by the microRNAs miR-10a and miR-10b.[6][7][8]
