The Trox-2 Hox/ParaHox gene of Trichoplax (Placozoa) marks an epithelial boundary.
Hox and ParaHox genes are implicated in axial patterning of cnidarians and bilaterians, and are thought to have originated by tandem duplication of a single "ProtoHox" gene followed by duplication of the resultant gene cluster. It is unclear what the ancestral role of Hox/ParaHox genes was...
