Homeodomain Proteins

Medical Definition: Proteins encoded by homeobox genes (GENES, HOMEOBOX) that exhibit structural similarity to certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins. Homeodomain proteins are involved in the control of gene expression during morphogenesis and development (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION, DEVELOPMENTAL).
Guide Notes: DNA-binding proteins
Previously Indexed: DNA-Binding Proteins (1988-1994)

Canadian Medical Guide Definition MADS Domain Proteins - A superfamily of proteins that share a highly conserved MADS domain sequence motif. The term MADS refers to the first four members which were MCM1 PROTEIN, AGAMOUS PROTEIN, DEFICIENS PROTEIN and SERUM RESPONSE FACTOR. Many MADS domain proteins have been found in species from all eukaryotic kingdoms. They play an important role in development, especially in plants where they have an important role in flower development.
