tbx-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity; core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle structure development; neuron migration; and olfactory behavior. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in amphid neurons; body wall musculature; head neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); ulnar-mammary syndrome; and vertebral anomalies and variable endocrine and T-cell dysfunction. Is an ortholog of human TBX2 (T-box transcription factor 2) and TBX3 (T-box transcription factor 3).
