Lesson plan
DBX2
Homeobox protein DBX2, also known as developing brain homeobox protein 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DBX2 gene. DBX2, a homeodomain-containing protein, plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system, specifically in the development of the neural tube and brain. The gene DBX2 is located on chromosome 12 and is approximately 36,000 base pairs long. DBX2 is predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activity as well as being involved in the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
