Gene information for TBX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6909
Official gene symbolTBX2
Full nameT-box 2
Aliases,FLJ10169,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. This gene product is the human homolog of mouse Tbx2, and shares strong sequence similarity with Drosophila omb protein. Expression studies indicate that this gene may have a potential role in tumorigenesis as an immortalizing agent. Transcript heterogeneity due to alternative polyadenylation has been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
