Gene ID: 17286 | Gene type: protein coding

About Meox2

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; skeletal muscle tissue development; and somite specification. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human MEOX2 (mesenchyme homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
