IRX3 is a member of the Iroquois homeobox gene family (see IRX1, MIM 606197) and plays a role in an early step of neural development (Bellefroid et al., 1998 [PubMed 9427753]). Members of this family appear to play multiple roles during pattern formation of vertebrate embryos (Lewis et al., 1999 [PubMed 10370142]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009],similarity:Belongs to the TALE/IRO homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,
