OX NCBI_TaxID=10116; RN [1] RP SEQUENCE FROM N.A. RX MEDLINE=96108898; PubMed=8613727; RA Robel L., Ding M., James A.J., Lin X., Simeone A., Leckman J.F., RA Vaccarino F.M.; RT "Fibroblast growth factor 2 increases Otx2 expression in precursor RT cells from mammalian telencephalon."; RL J. Neurosci. 15:7879-7891(1995). CC -!- FUNCTION: Probably play a role in the development of the brain and CC the sense organs. Can bind to the bcd target sequence (BTS): 5'- CC TCTAATCCC-3' (By similarity). May have a role in the FGF2-mediated CC proliferation of neuronal progenitors, but not of glial CC progenitors. Interaction between basic fibroblast growth factor CC (FGF2) may be important for the regulation of neurogenesis in the CC forebrain. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nuclear (Probable). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid CC subfamily. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 homeobox domain.
