BARX2, Official Symbol BARX2provided by HGNC Official Full Name BARX homeobox 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:956 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000043039 MIM:604823; AllianceGenome:HGNC:956 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a member of the homeobox transcription factor family. A highly related protein in mouse has been shown to influence cellular processes that control cell adhesion and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in myoblast fusion and chondrogenesis. The encoded protein may also play a role in cancer progression.
