Landscape of Hopx expression in cells of the immune system

Homeodomain only protein (Hopx) is a regulator of cell differentiation and function, and it has also emerged as a crucial marker of specific developmental and differentiation potentials. Hopx expression and functions have been identified in some stem cells, tumors, and in certain immune cells. Howev...
