{"symbol":"HOXB2","synonyms":["HOX-2.8","HOX2H","K8"],"name":"homeobox B2","description":"This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with pancreatic cancer.
