Gene information for PKNOX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID63876
Official gene symbolPKNOX2
Full namePBX/knotted 1 homeobox 2
Aliases,FLJ13074,PREP2,
Gene summaryHomeodomain proteins are sequence-specific transcription factors that share a highly conserved DNA-binding domain and play fundamental roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. PKNOX2 belongs to the TALE (3-amino acid loop extension) class of homeodomain proteins characterized by a 3-amino acid extension between alpha helices 1 and 2 within the homeodomain (Imoto et al., 2001 [PubMed 11549286]).[supplied by OMIM]
