SEBOX homeobox is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEBOX gene.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SEBOX homeobox | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/645832 | access-date = 2017-09-11 | archive-date = 2016-04-08 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160408115023/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/645832 | url-status = live }} 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.
Function
Homeodomain proteins, such as SEBOX, play a key role in coordinating gene expression during development.{{cite journal | vauthors = Cinquanta M, Rovescalli AC, Kozak CA, Nirenberg M | title = Mouse Sebox homeobox gene expression in skin, brain, oocytes, and two-cell embryos | journal = Proc.
