Gene: CDX2

Alternate names for this Gene: CDX-3|CDX2/AS|CDX3

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. The encoded protein is a major regulator of intestine-specific genes involved in cell growth an differentiation. This protein also plays a role in early embryonic development of the intestinal tract. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 13

Location in Chromosome : 13q12.2

Description of this Gene: caudal type homeobox 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
