Full name: T cell leukemia homeobox 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: HOX11L1; NCX

Summary: This gene is a member of an orphan homeobox-containing transcription factor family. Studies of the mouse ortholog have shown that the encoded protein is crucial for the development of the enteric nervous system; in humans, loss-of-function may play a role in tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
