Homeobox protein Meis1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEIS1 gene.Homeobox genes of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes play a crucial role in normal development. In addition several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE (‘three amino acid loop extension’) family of homeodomain-containing proteins.
