About DLX2

Cytogenetic location: 2q31.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:172,099,438-172,102,900 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 227 orthologues and 9 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

Many vertebrate homeo box-containing genes have been identified on the basis of their sequence similarity with Drosophila developmental genes. Members of the Dlx gene family contain a homeobox that is related to that of Distal-less (Dll), a gene expressed in the head and limbs of the developing fruit fly. The Distal-less (Dlx) family of genes comprises at least 6 different members, DLX1-DLX6. The DLX proteins are postulated to play a role in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is located in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the gene family on the long arm of chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
