Gene information for BEX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84707
Official gene symbolBEX2
Full namebrain expressed X-linked 2
Aliases,BEX1,DJ79P11.1,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the brain expressed X-linked gene family. The encoded protein interacts with the transcription factor LIM domain only 2 in a DNA-binding complex that recognizes the E-box element and promotes transcription. This gene has been found to be a tumor suppressor that is silenced in human glioma. In breast cancer cells, this gene product modulates apoptosis in response to estrogen and tamoxifen, and enhances the anti-proliferative effect of tamoxifen. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
