ASXL2 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
ASXL2 
Aliases
ASXH2; FLJ10898; KIAA1685 
Common name
ASXL transcriptional regulator 2 
Entrez Id
55252
Description
This gene encodes a member of a family of epigenetic regulators that bind various histone-modifying enzymes and are involved in the assembly of transcription factors at specific genomic loci. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with cancer in several tissue types (breast, bladder, pancreas, ovary, prostate, and blood). This gene plays an important role in neurodevelopment, cardiac function, adipogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017].
