Gene:
NK2 transcription factor related, locus 2 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
191913
Symbol:
NKX2-2
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene contains a homeobox domain and may be involved in the morphogenesis of the central nervous system. This gene is found on chromosome 20 near NKX2-4, and these two genes appear to be duplicated on chromosome 14 in the form of TITF1 and NKX2-8. The encoded protein is likely to be a nuclear transcription factor.
