Organism:		Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly).
Taxonomy:		Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora.
Function:		Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that regulates segmental identity in the mesothorax. Provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis.
Subcellular location:		Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
Miscellaneous:		Loss of Antp results in altered development of the embryonic thoracic segments. Overexpression can cause antennae to be transformed into legs.
Similarity:		Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. {ECO:0000305}.
