Phox2a - paired-like homeobox 2a Gene

Also Known as Arix

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 116648

Summary

Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in aging and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles 2. Orthologous to human PHOX2A (paired like homeobox 2A).
