HOPX

HOP Homeobox is a homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. Studies in mice suggest that HOP Homeobox may interact with serum response factor (SRF) and modulate SRF-dependent cardiac-specific gene expression and cardiac development.

HOPX

Atypical homeodomain protein which does not bind DNA and is required to modulate cardiac growth and development. Acts via its interaction with SRF, thereby modulating the expression of SRF-dependent cardiac-specific genes and cardiac development. Prevents SRF-dependent transcription either by inhibiting SRF binding to DNA or by recruiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins that prevent transcription by SRF. Overexpression causes cardiac hypertrophy (By similarity).

May act as a tumor suppressor. Acts as a co-chaperone for HSPA1A and HSPA1B chaperone proteins and assists in chaperone-mediated protein refolding (PubMed:27708256).
