Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionceh-2 encodes a homeodomain protein homologous to Drosophila empty spiracles (EMS) and the vertebrate EMX1 and EMX2 proteins (OMIM:600034, 600035); although the exact biological role of CEH-2 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known, expression in pharyngeal neurons and muscle, as well as vulval cells (vulB1, vulB2, and vulC) at late stages of development suggests that CEH-2 may play a role in terminal differentiation events in diverse cell types.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001190

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in brain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in neurons; pharynx; somatic nervous system; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple) and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human EMX1 (empty spiracles homeobox 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (30)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
