Homeobox protein DBX2, also known as developing brain homeobox protein 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DBX2gene.[5][6] DBX2, a homeodomain-containing protein, plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system, specifically in the development of the neural tube and brain.[7] The gene DBX2 is located on chromosome 12 and is approximately 36,000 base pairs long. DBX2 is predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activity as well as being involved in the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.[8]
