Emx2 - empty spiracles homeobox 2

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; forebrain development; and ureter morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; hindlimb phalanx; and nose. Orthologous to human EMX2 (empty spiracles homeobox 2).
