About Emx2

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in brain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; forebrain development; and ureter morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human EMX2 (empty spiracles homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
