'''BARX homeobox 1''' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BARX1 gene. <ref name="entrez"> {{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: BARX homeobox 1 | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/56033 | access-date = 2018-07-10 }}</ref>

==Function==

This gene encodes a member of the Bar subclass of homeobox transcription factors. Studies of the mouse and chick homolog suggest the encoded protein may play a role in developing teeth and craniofacial mesenchyme of neural crest origin. The protein may also be associated with differentiation of stomach epithelia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
