VGLL2
gene geneOn this page
Summary
VGLL2 (vestigial like family member 2, HGNC:20232) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q22.1, encoding Transcription cofactor vestigial-like protein 2 (Q8N8G2). May act as a specific coactivator for the mammalian TEFs.
This gene encodes a protein with a transcriptional enhancer factor 1 (TEF-1) interaction domain. The encoded protein may act as a co-factor of TEF-1 regulated gene expression during skeletal muscle development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed.
