Homeobox C12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXC12 gene.This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters HOXA HOXB HOXC and HOXD which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem.
