About HOXB2

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:48,542,655-48,545,109 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 194 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 11.3), fat (RPKM 6.5) and 19 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with pancreatic Cancer.
