Protein attributes

Sequence length	363 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis.
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Developmental stage	First expressed at the 2-somite stage as a stripe in the region of the hindbrain that will give rise to rhombomeres 2 and 3. By the 10-somite stage, expression has expanded posteriorly to rhombomeres 4 and 5.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. Proboscipedia subfamily. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
