| UniProt Protein Function: | MEOX2: Role in mesoderm induction and its earliest regional specification, somitogenesis, and myogenic and sclerotomal differentiation. May have a regulatory role when quiescent vascular smooth muscle cells reenter the cell cycle. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:DNA-binding Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7p22.1-p21.3 Cellular Component: cytoplasm; nucleus Molecular Function:protein binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; transcription factor activity Biological Process: blood circulation; multicellular organismal development; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter |
| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.
