MEIS1

Homeobox protein Meis1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEIS1 gene.

Function

Homeobox genes, of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes, play a crucial role in normal development. In addition, several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins.

Interactions

MEIS1 has been shown to interact with PBX1 and HOXA9.

    A Novel Of War

    by: Miss May I

    They fight and it never seems like it ends.
    "Are you too busytonight?"
    When all of your children cry,
    "Oh God, when will it end!?"
    Will we ever see the day
    The world stands as one?
    Love and peace arehidden
    Somewhere under this sun.
    We are on our knees and
    Praying to endthis war.
    Time will already murder
    What they are fighting for.
    Justifybelief in a God that's left you behind,
    But we're still hoping tonight
    That our prayers and our wishes,
    Find a way through their hearts.
    Will we ever see the day
    The world stands as one?
    Love and peace arehidden
    Somewhere under this sun.
    We are on our knees and
    Praying to endthis war.
    Time will already murder
    What they are fighting for.
    All of this time their burning down bridges.
    All of this time warsfought from religions.
    All of this time spent burning the witches.
    All of this time they're fighting for riches.
    All of this time theirbreaking the stitches
    All of this time their dying in ditches.
