HMBOX1 tissues

HMBOX1 [ENSP00000430110]

Homeobox-containing protein 1; Binds directly to 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeats in telomeric DNA . Associates with the telomerase complex at sites of active telomere processing and positively regulates telomere elongation . Important for TERT binding to chromatin, indicating a role in recruitment of the telomerase complex to telomeres (By similarity). Also plays a role in the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway in telomerase-negative cells where it promotes formation and/or maintenance of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia bodies (APBs) . Enhances formation of telomere C-circles in ALT cells, suggesting a possible role in telomere recombination . Might also be involved in the DNA damage response at telomeres .

0 1 2 3 4 5 Confidence

The tissue associations are derived from manually curated knowledge in UniProtKB and via automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, which has not been manually verified. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest. Download files from earlier versions are archived on figshare.

Each tissue–gene association is based on a text-mining score, which is proportional to 1) the absolute number of comentionings and 2) the ratio of observed to expected comentionings (i.e. the enrichment). These scores are normalized to z-scores by comparing them to a random background. This is represented by stars, each star corresponding to two standard deviations above the mean of the background distribution.
