Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
SEBOX homeobox is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEBOX gene .[ 5] Sebox homeobox has a 92% similarity to genes found within rhesus macaque , or the rhesus monkey. It is thought that this is what causes the reddened glutius maximus coloring. If the protein is turned on within a person, it may cause discoloring in the human rear.
Homeodomain proteins, such as SEBOX, play a key role in coordinating gene expression during development.[ 6]
