• HOXD13

  MIM.142989
  HOXD13, the homeobox-containing gene located at the most 5’ end of the HOXD cluster, plays a critical role in limb development. It has been shown that mutations in human HOXD13 can give rise to limb malformations, with variable expressivity and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
  Polyalanine expansions in HOXD13 cause synpolydactyly, whereas amino acid substitutions in the homeodomain are associated with brachydactyly types D and E.

• GLI2
  17 February 2005

  GLI2 encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger protein subclass of the Gli family (GLIs).
  Members of the GLIs subclass are characterized as transcription factors which bind DNA through zinc finger motifs. These motifs contain conserved H-C links.
  Gli family zinc finger proteins (GLIs) are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling and they are implicated as potent oncogenes in the embryonal carcinoma cell.
  The protein Gli2 encoded by this gene localizes to the (...)

• CRELD1
  29 September 2003

  CRELD1 codes for a cell adhesion molecule previously known as "cirrin". Locus AVSD2 (3p25). CRELD1 is the founding member of a family of matricellular proteins.
  EGF domains
  Epidermal growth factor-like repeats are a class of cysteine-rich domains that mediate interactions between proteins of diverse function. EGF domains are found in proteins that are either completely secreted or have transmembrane regions that tether the protein to the cell surface.
