CDX2 (Homeobox protein CDX-2) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Colorectal cancer, Oesophageal cancer, Skin cancer and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Transcription factor which regulates the transcription of multiple genes expressed in the intestinal epithelium. Binds to the promoter of the intestinal sucrase-isomaltase SI and activates SI transcription. Binds to the DNA sequence 5'-ATAAAAACTTAT-3' in the promoter region of VDR and activates VDR transcription. Binds to and activates transcription of LPH. Activates transcription of CLDN2 and intestinal mucin MUC2. Binds to the 5'-AATTTTTTACAACACCT-3' DNA sequence in the promoter region of CA1 and activates CA1 transcription. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 13q12.2 (HGNC).
