Protein attributes

Sequence length	285 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. Binds to sites in the 5'-flanking sequence of its coding region with various affinities. The consensus sequences of the high and low affinity binding sites are 5'-TAATGA[CG]-3' and 5'-CTAATTTT-3'.
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Developmental stage	During development of the prepuberal testis high levels of HOXA4 transcripts were found at days 17, 24 and 30. The first day of HOXA4 expression was day 14. The activation of the HOXA4 gene in male germ cells seems to occur at the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase and its level of expression is stage-specific during embryogenesis.
Involvement in disease	Overexpression results in abnormal gut development (megacolon).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. Deformed subfamily. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
