About MSX2

Cytogenetic location: 5q35.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:174,724,582-174,730,896 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 144 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 16.6), urinary bladder (RPKM 6.4) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family. The encoded protein is a transcriptional repressor whose normal activity may establish a balance between survival and Apoptosis of neural crest-derived cells required for proper craniofacial morphogenesis. The encoded protein may also have a role in promoting cell growth under certain conditions and may be an important target for the Ras signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene are associated with parietal foramina 1 and craniosynostosis type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
