Description
Product Characteristics:
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: growth arrest-specic homeobox, Homeobox protein MOX-2, Mesenchyme homeobox 2, mesenchyme homeobox 2-like, Growth arrest-specic homeobox, GAX, growth arrest homeobox transcription factor GAX, mesenchyme homeobox 2, MEOX2_HUMAN.
