epitope corresponding to amino acids 341-384 mapping within an internal region of HoxD3 of human origin
Modification Notes
The Hox (homeobox) genes play an important role in the development and design of anterior-posterior body axes in animals. Although Hox proteins can bind to DNA as monomers, dimerization with PBX homeoproteins can significantly increase the DNA binding activity of these transcription factors. HoxD3, a homeobox transcription factor that promotes angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, is up-regulated during normal wound repair and may provide a means to directly improve collagen deposition, angiogenesis and closure in poorly healing wounds in diabetics. One study found that six of seven observed melanoma cell lines expressed the HoxD3 gene, whereas normal melanocytes did not. When overexpressed, HoxD3 upregulates Integrin ∫3 expression in human erythroleukemia HEL cells and lung cancer A549 cells and enhances their motility and invasiveness. HoxD3 may also enhance the invasive and metastatic potential of cancer cells through TGF∫-dependent and independent pathways.
