Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat DLX2 Polyclonal Antibody

DLX2 (Distal-Less Homeobox 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with DLX2 include Tooth Agenesis and Bamforth-Lazarus Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Susceptibility Pathways and Preimplantation Embryo. GO annotations related to this gene include transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding and chromatin binding. An important paralog of this gene is DLX5.Many vertebrate homeo box-containing genes have been identified on the basis of their sequence similarity with Drosophila developmental genes. Members of the Dlx gene family contain a homeobox that is related to that of Distal-less (Dll), a gene expressed in the head and limbs of the developing fruit fly. The Distal-less (Dlx) family of genes comprises at least 6 different members, DLX1-DLX6. The DLX proteins are postulated to play a role in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is located in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the gene family on the long arm of chromosome 2.
