Gene: ASXL2
Alternate names for this Gene: ASXH2|SHAPNS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of epigenetic regulators that bind various histone-modifying enzymes and are involved in the assembly of transcription factors at specific genomic loci. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with cancer in several tissue types (breast, bladder, pancreas, ovary, prostate, and blood). This gene plays an important role in neurodevelopment, cardiac function, adipogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2p23.3
Description of this Gene: ASXL transcriptional regulator 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
