Although Hox genes contain and are originally named because of the homeobox sequence, not all homeobox-containing genes are Hox genes (other examples include the POU genes and CDX genes). The homeobox encodes for a protein sequence called the homeodomain, which is a DNA-binding domain.
So for example, a Hox gene product may activate the gene inside a developing insect that will specify structures on its thoracic region, or a Hox gene product may repress a gene involved in the development of the antenna. Hox genes are also sometimes referred to as homeotic selector genes.ithout Hox genes you'd be a very different looking person. They ensure that your head sits on the top of your body, that your feet are at the bottom, that your arms hang by your side and that your nose is in the centre of your face.
