Homeobox protein DLX-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLX5 gene.^[1][2]

This gene encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similar to the Drosophila distal-less (Dll) gene. The encoded protein may play a role in bone development and fracture healing. Mutation in this gene, which is located in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the family on the long arm of chromosome 7, may be associated with split-hand/split-foot malformation.^[2]

Interactions

DLX5 has been shown to interact with DLX2,^[3] MSX1^[3] and Msh homeobox 2.^[3]
