Implantation in the Human: The Role of HOX Genes
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
HOX genes are transcription factors that are essential for the proper development of the müllerian tract in the embryonic period. It has been discovered that HOX genes are expressed in the adult uterus. Two of them, Hoxa10 and Hoxa11, have been demonstrated to be necessary for uterine receptivity and implantation in mice. Recent evidence also suggests such a role for HOX genes in humans. They are likely to be...
