NKX2-2

Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the NKX2-2 is_associated_with::gene.

Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2 contains a is_associated_with::homeobox domain and may be involved in the is_associated_with::morphogenesis of the central nervous system. This gene is found on chromosome 20 near is_associated_with::NKX2-4, and these two genes appear to be duplicated on chromosome 14 in the form of is_associated_with::TITF1 and is_associated_with::NKX2-8. The encoded protein is likely to be a nuclear is_associated_with::transcription factor.

The expression of Nkx2-2 is regulated by an antisense RNA called is_associated_with::Nkx2-2as.
