HOXC8

Function

This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12. The product of this gene may play a role in the regulation of cartilage differentiation. It could also be involved in chondrodysplasias or other cartilage disorders.[7] HOXC8 was found to have activity in promoting nerve growth and its expression is dysregulated in patients suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1.[8]

gollark: Obviously we could say "no E2EE, just use a trusted server to store your history", but this also never works.
gollark: Yeeeees.
gollark: We could maybe fix the last one with signing keys attached to accounts, but that drags in even more issues.
gollark: What if a server evilly edits message history? Just saying "don't trust X" never really works for users.
gollark: How would E2EE work? How do files work - obviously your identity server could probably double as a file host, but what if you don't want to expose your IP to stuff - must your identity server also proxy files for you?!
