== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene is an IRX family-related homeobox protein that may play a role in cell adhesion. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may be a regulator of tendon development. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011].
* **UniProt Summary**: May act as a morphogenetic regulator of cell adhesion. {ECO:0000250}.
