Source: NCBI Gene (ID 8538)
Symbol: BARX2
Full name: BARX homeobox 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
