Gbx2

Gbx2 (Gastrulation Brain Homeobox 2) is a gene that produces a protein acting as a transcription factor, meaning it helps regulate the activity of other genes. It plays a critical role during early development, especially in the formation of the nervous system and the brain. Gbx2 helps organize the structure of the brain and ensures that different regions develop correctly. Its proper function is essential for normal brain and spinal cord development, and changes or mutations in Gbx2 can impact these processes, potentially leading to developmental abnormalities.
