Also known as MOX2
Summary
MEOX2 (mesenchyme homeobox 2, HGNC:7014) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p21.2, encoding Homeobox protein MOX-2 (P50222). Mesodermal transcription factor that plays a key role in somitogenesis and somitogenesis and limb muscle differentiation.
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer’s disease.

Function. Mesodermal transcription factor that plays a key role in somitogenesis and somitogenesis and limb muscle differentiation. Required during limb development for normal appendicular muscle formation and for the normal regulation of myogenic genes. May have a regulatory role when quiescent vascular smooth muscle cells reenter the cell cycle. Also acts as a negative regulator of angiogenesis. Activates expression of CDKN1A and CDKN2A in endothelial cells, acting as a regulator of vascular cell proliferation. While it activates CDKN1A in a DNA-dependent manner, it activates CDKN2A in a DNA-independent manner. Together with TCF15, regulates transcription in heart endothelial cells to regulate fatty acid transport across heart endothelial cells.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with RNF10. Interacts with TCF15.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle.
Domain organisation. The polyhistidine repeat may act as a targeting signal to nuclear speckles.
Induction. Expression is repressed by ZEB2.
Polymorphism. The poly-His region of MEOX2 is polymorphic and the number of His varies in the population.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 171 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
