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.
Hox gene is an example of a homeobox gene. The homeobox sequence codes for a 60 amino acid protein domain known as the homeodomain. The main role of homeodomain is to act as a switch that controls gene transcription.
