gene: ceh-22 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; pharyngeal muscle development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including G1; gonad; neurons; pharyngeal cell; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study cancer. Is an ortholog of human NKX2-2 (NK2 homeobox 2).
