Target Details for Nkx2-2

Target: Nkx2-2 (NK2 Homeobox 2 (Nkx2-2))

Alternative Name: NKX2-2 (Nkx2-2 Products)

Background: NKX2-2 (NK2 homeobox 2) is a member of a family of transcription factors that are involved in embryonic development and cell fate. NKX2-2 is crucial in the development of pancreatic islet cell differentiation and activates the ghrelin-promoter in these cells. NKX2-2 is expressed at the onset of pancreatic epithelium formation and becomes restricted to mature alpha-, beta- and PP cells, and in NKX2-2-null mice embryos, all beta-cells and most a-cells are replaced by ghrelin-positive cells. NKX2-2 is also thought to be involved in ventral neuronal patterning and floor plate development and commissural axon guidance.Synonyms: Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2, NK2 transcription factor related, NKX2.2, NKX2B, locus 2
