UniProt functional annotation for Q92826

UniProt code: Q92826.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Binds preferentially to methylated DNA (PubMed:28473536). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28473536}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer with MEIS1 (PubMed:28473536). Heterodimer with MEIS2 (Ref.8). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28473536, ECO:0000269|Ref.8}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Disease: Prostate cancer (PC) [MIM:176807]: A malignancy originating in tissues of the prostate. Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas that develop in the acini of the prostatic ducts. Other rare histopathologic types of prostate cancer that occur in approximately 5% of patients include small cell carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, prostatic ductal carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma (basaloid), signet-ring cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22236224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22714738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23064873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23292082, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25629170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27424772}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the Abd-B homeobox family. {ECO:0000305}.
