About ASXL2

Cytogenetic location: 2p23.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:25,733,753-25,878,487 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 97 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 5.8), thyroid (RPKM 4.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of epigenetic regulators that bind various histone-modifying Enzymes and are involved in the assembly of transcription factors at specific genomic loci. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with Cancer in several tissue types (breast, bladder, pancreas, ovary, prostate, and blood). This gene plays an important role in neurodevelopment, cardiac function, adipogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]
