EMX2

Homeobox protein Emx2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EMX2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The is_associated_with::homeodomain is_associated_with::transcription factor EMX2 is critical for central nervous system and urogenital development. is_associated_with::EMX1 (MIM 600034) and EMX2 are related to the 'empty spiracles' gene expressed in the developing is_associated_with::Drosophila head.[supplied by OMIM]
