Summary
DLX2 (distal-less homeobox 2, HGNC:2915) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding Homeobox protein DLX-2 (Q07687). Acts as a transcriptional activator.
Many vertebrate homeo box-containing genes have been identified on the basis of their sequence similarity with Drosophila developmental genes. Members of the Dlx gene family contain a homeobox that is related to that of Distal-less (Dll), a gene expressed in the head and limbs of the developing fruit fly. The Distal-less (Dlx) family of genes comprises at least 6 different members, DLX1-DLX6. The DLX proteins are postulated to play a role in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is located in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the gene family on the long arm of chromosome 2.

Function. Acts as a transcriptional activator. Activates transcription of CGA/alpha-GSU, via binding to the downstream activin regulatory element (DARE) in the gene promoter. Plays a role in terminal differentiation of interneurons, such as amacrine and bipolar cells in the developing retina. Likely to play a regulatory role in the development of the ventral forebrain. May play a role in craniofacial patterning and morphogenesis.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via homeobox DNA-binding domain) with POU4F2; this interaction enhances retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family.
