Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * TLX2 is a transcription factor that belongs to the T-cell leukemia homeobox (TLX) family of proteins. * It is a key regulator of enteric neuron development, as it is highly expressed in neural cells of the enteric nervous system. * TLX2 is a positive regulator of transcription, as it binds to specific DNA sequences and promotes the transcription of downstream genes. * It is also a negative regulator of dendrite morphogenesis, as it inhibits the expression of genes involved in this process. **Pathways and functions:** * TLX2 is involved in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a process by which epithelial cells lose their epithelial characteristics and acquire mesenchymal characteristics. * It also plays a role in the specification of the enteric nervous system, as it is expressed in neural cells that give rise to the enteric nervous system. * TLX2 is also involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, as it is expressed in blood vessel endothelial cells and is required for the formation of new blood vessels. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the TLX2 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including Hirschsprung's disease, an intestinal disorder characterized by the absence of gut motility. * Targeting TLX2 has been explored as a potential treatment for these diseases, as it could be used to stimulate the development of enteric neurons and correct the intestinal abnormalities that are characteristic of Hirschsprung's disease. TLX2 is a key transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the development and function of the enteric nervous system. Its dysregulation has been linked to a number of human diseases, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention.
