Also known as: dlx5
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; embryonic skeletal system development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including dental epithelium; dental mesenchyme; forebrain; parasphenoid; and splanchnocranium. Orthologous to human DLX2 (distal-less homeobox 2).

What's a GeneRIF?

Increased expression levels of DLX5 inhibit the development of the nervous system.
Title: Increased expression levels of DLX5 inhibit the development of the nervous system.
cell transfection experiments demonstrated that Sp7 directly regulates the expression of dlx2b and bglap through Sp7-binding sites on the promoter regions of these two genes. Overall, this study provides new insight into the role of Sp7 in bone mineralization and tooth development.
Title: Sp7/osterix positively regulates dlx2b and bglap to affect tooth development and bone mineralization in zebrafish larvae.
Data indicate that retinoic acid (RA) induces the expression patterns of genes normally expressed in the posterior tooth-forming region, such as pitx2 and dlx2b.
Title: Retinoic acid expands the evolutionarily reduced dentition of zebrafish.
Zebrafish dlx2b can drive reporter expression in oral teeth of the related characiform Astyanax mexicanus.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
