Gene information for NKX2-2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4821
Official gene symbolNKX2-2
Full nameNK2 homeobox 2
Aliases,NKX2.2,NKX2B,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a homeobox domain and may be involved in the morphogenesis of the central nervous system. This gene is found on chromosome 20 near NKX2-4, and these two genes appear to be duplicated on chromosome 14 in the form of TITF1 and NKX2-8. The encoded protein is likely to be a nuclear transcription factor. [provided by RefSeq]
