MSX2 Antibody

• Background :

  MSX2 is a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family. The protein is a transcriptional repressor whose normal activity may establish a balance between survival and apoptosis of neural crest-derived cells required for proper craniofacial morphogenesis. The protein may also have a role in promoting cell growth under certain conditions and may be an important target for the RAS signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene are associated with parietal foramina 1 and craniosynostosis type 2.This gene encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family.
