OTX2 Rabbit pAb

This gene encodes a member of the bicoid subfamily of homeodomain-containing transcription factors. The encoded Protein A Affinity purificationcts as a transcription factor and plays a role in brain, craniofacial, and sensory organ development. The encoded Protein A Affinity purificationlso influences the proliferation and differentiation of dopaminergic neuronal progenitor cells during mitosis. Mutations in this gene cause syndromic microphthalmia 5 (MCOPS5) and combined pituitary hormone deficiency 6 (CPHD6). This gene is also suspected of having an oncogenic role in medulloblastoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Pseudogenes of this gene are known to exist on chromosomes two and nine.
