{"symbol":"CDX2","synonyms":["CDX2/AS","CDX3","CDX-3"],"name":"caudal type homeobox 2","description":"This gene is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. The encoded protein is a major regulator of intestine-specific genes involved in cell growth an differentiation. This protein also plays a role in early embryonic development of the intestinal tract. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis.
