Lbx2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of convergent extension involved in gastrulation; positive regulation of non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal cortex; central nervous system; genitourinary system; neural retina; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human LBX2 (ladybird homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Lbx2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
