EBF2 EBF transcription factor 2

Gene ID: 64641, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: COE2; OE-3; EBF-2; O/E-3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the COE (Collier/Olf/EBF) family of non-basic, helix-loop-helix transcription factors that have a well conserved DNA binding domain. The COE family proteins play an important role in variety of developmental processes. Studies in mouse suggest that this gene may be involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts.
