Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Homeobox expressed in ES cells 1 , also known ashomeobox protein ANF , is ahomeobox protein that in humans is encoded by theHESX1 gene .[ 5]
Expression ofHEX1 and HESX1 marks theanterior visceral endoderm of the embryo. The AVE is an extra-embryonic tissue, key to the establishment of the anterior-posterior body axis.
Clinical significance [ edit ] Mutations in the HESX1 gene are associated with some cases ofsepto-optic dysplasia [ 6] Pickardt-Fahlbusch syndrome .[ 7]
