GRHL2 grainyhead like transcription factor 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 79977)
Symbol: GRHL2
Full name: grainyhead like transcription factor 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: BOM; DFNA28; ECTDS; PPCD4; TFCP2L3
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that can act as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with either GRHL1 or GRHL3. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 28 (DFNA28).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
Expression: Broad expression in skin (RPKM 14.0), prostate (RPKM 13.5) and 14 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 188762bp
Exon count: 17
