MEOX2

Homeobox protein MOX-2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MEOX2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.

Interactions
MEOX2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PAX1 and is_associated_with::PAX3.
