Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding a subject but I am not sure how to go about this. Is there a specific thread to post this type of questions?
Here is my original question:
What is the difference or relationship between Homeobox (Hox) and Paired box (Pax)?
Here is what I know:
* Both Hox and Pax have to do with embryo development regarding body segmentation
* Hox consist of approximately 60 amino acids, whereas Pax consists of 128 amino acids
* Mutations on Pax result in malformation, whereas mutations on Hox result in synpolydactyly and brachydactyly
I am a bit confused on the relationship between the two.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. (and don't be rude)
