| DISEASE | Defects in EMX2 are the cause of schizencephaly (SCHZC) [MIM:269160]. Schizencephaly is an extremely rare human congenital disorder characterized by a full-thickness cleft within the cerebral hemispheres. These clefts are lined with gray matter and most commonly involve the parasylvian regions. Large portions of the cerebral hemispheres may be absent and replaced by cerebro-spinal fluid. |

| Background Descriptions | Emx1 and Emx2 are human homologs to the Drosophila developmental genes empty spiracles expressed in anterior body regions during early Drosophila embryogenesis. Emx1 and Emx2 are homeobox proteins expressed in the developing vertebrate brain. Emx2 is expressed in the dorsal telencephalon and small diencephalic regions, while Emx1 expression is exclusively confined to pyramidal neurons of the dorsal telencephalon. In the embryonic brain, Emx1 is expressed in both proliferating and differentiating neurons while Emx2 is expressed only in proliferating neurons. OTX1 and OTX2 are human homologs of the Drosophila developmental genes orthodenticle. In development, the sequence of expression begins with OTX2 at day ten post coitum followed by OTX1, Emx2 and finally Emx1. The genes encoding human Emx1 and Emx2 map to chromosomes 2p13.2 and 10q26.11, respectively. |

| Name | EMX2 |
|---|---|
| Function | Transcription factor, which in cooperation with EMX1, acts to generate the boundary between the roof and archipallium in the developing brain. May function in combination with OTX1/2 to specify cell fates in the developing central nervous system. In the inner ear, it controls the distribution of GPR156 at hair cell boundaries, and regulates the organization of stereociliary bundles in opposite orientations across the line of polarity reversal (LPR). |

| Tissue Location | Cerebral cortex. |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
