Gene information for EVX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID344191
Official gene symbolEVX2
Full nameeven-skipped homeobox 2
Aliases,EVX-2,
Gene summaryThis gene is located at the 5' end of the HOXD gene cluster on chromosome 2. The encoded protein is a homeobox transcription factor that is related to the protein encoded by the Drosophila even-skipped (eve) gene, a member of the pair-rule class of segmentation genes. A 117 kb microdeletion at the 5' end of the HOXD gene cluster, which includes this gene and the HOXD9-HOXD13 genes, causes synpolydactyly, a dominantly inherited disease resulting in limb malformation.
