Homeobox protein Hox-B2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXB2 gene. [5] [6] [7]

Contents

Function

This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with pancreatic cancer. [7]
