Homeobox protein MOX-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEOX2 gene.^[5]^[6]

Function[edit]

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.^[6]

Interactions[edit]

MEOX2 has been shown to interact with PAX1^[7] and PAX3.^[7]
