Gene information for PHOX2B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8929
Official gene symbolPHOX2B
Full namepaired-like homeobox 2b
Aliases,NBLST2,NBPhox,PMX2B,
Gene summaryThe DNA-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the paired family of homeobox proteins localized to the nucleus. The protein functions as a transcription factor involved in the development of several major noradrenergic neuron populations and the determination of neurotransmitter phenotype. The gene product is linked to enhancement of second messenger-mediated activation of the dopamine beta-hydroylase, c-fos promoters and several enhancers, including cyclic amp-response element and serum-response element.
