Homeobox B7 (HOXB7) is part of the HOX gene family and is expressed in embryonic tissues. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 17q21.32.
Immunogen
HOXB7 (NP_004493, 55 a.a. ~ 120 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Homeobox B7 (HOXB7) has a role in many cellular processes. It has been shown to be expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. HOXB7 may also have a role in cell migration and invasion in gastric cancer. This transcription factor is vital for tissue differentiation and embryogenesis. HOXB7 may be a potential drug target in various cancers. The protein has the capacity to induce the expression of genes associated with tumor invasion and angiogenesis.

The aim of this study was to compare HOXB7 expression level between gastric cancer and non-cancerous gastric tissues. Additionally, the functional effects of HOXB7, including its pro-migration or invasion and anti-apoptosis roles, were evaluated in gastric cancer cells. Both gene
HOXB7 Expression is a Novel Biomarker for Long-term Prognosis After Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
