Paired mesoderm homeobox protein 2A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PHOX2A gene. [5] [6] [7]

Contents

Function

The protein encoded by this gene contains a paired-like homeodomain most similar to that of the Drosophila aristaless gene product. This protein is expressed specifically in noradrenergic cell types. It regulates the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine beta-hydroxylase, two catecholaminergic biosynthetic enzymes essential for the differentiation and maintenance of noradrenergic phenotype. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM2). [7]

Interactions

PHOX2A has been shown to interact with HAND2. [8]

Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles is a class of rare genetic disorders affecting one or more of the muscles that move the eyeballs. Individuals with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) have varying degrees of ophthalmoplegia and ptosis. The condition is present from birth, non-progressive, runs in families, and usually affects both eyes similarly. In the most common form, the superior recti are dysfunctional and the inferior recti, lacking proper opposition, pull the eyes down, forcing the head to be tilted upward in order to see straight ahead.
