HMX2 - H6 family homeobox 2 Gene
Also Known as H6L; Nkx5-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About HMX2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 207 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 1.3) and duodenum (RPKM 0.1).
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NKL homeobox family of transcription factors. Members in this family are of ancient origin and play an important role in organ development during embryogenesis. A related mouse protein plays a role in patterning of inner ear structures. In humans, variations in a region containing this gene have been associated with inner ear malformations, vestibular dysfunction, and hearing loss. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
