Meis2 - Meis homeobox 2 Gene
Also Known as Mrg1; Stra10; A430109D20Rik
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins. TALE homeobox proteins are highly conserved transcriptional regulators and several members have been shown to be essential contributors to developmental programs. In mice, a knock-out of this gene leads to lethality at embryonic day 14, accompanied with hemorrhaging. Embryos lacking this gene show defects in tissues derived from the neural crest, suggesting a critical role of this gene during cranial and cardiac neural crest cell development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
