Homeobox A4, also known as HOXA4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HOXA4 gene.[1][2]

Function

In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes.[3] Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation.[1] It is important to masturbate when taking in this protein for maximum effect
