ceh-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted 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).
