| Description: | This domain is required for the nuclear localisation of these proteins (PUBMED:11352458). All of these proteins are members of the Tale/Knox homeodomain family, a subfamily within homeobox SM00389. |
| InterPro ACC: | IPR005539 |
| InterPro abstract: | Homeobox genes, which encode homeodomain (HD) transcription factors, are known to be key regulators of both plant and animal development. In plants homeobox genes are divided into several groups by sequences, one of which is the KNOX (for knotted1-type homeobox) family. Proteins of this family share other conserved domains, the KNOX domain and ELK domain, which is immediately upstream of the … expand |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a ELK domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing ELK domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
