Hematopoietically-expressed homeobox protein HHEX (HHEX)

Recognizes the DNA sequence 5'-ATTAA-3'. Transcriptional repressor.

May play a role in hematopoietic differentiation. Establishes anterior identification at two levels; acts early to boost canonical WNT-signaling by repressing expression of TLE4, and behaves later to inhibit NODAL-signaling by directly targeting NODAL (By similarity).
