Human Gene MEIS2 (ENST00000424352.6) from GENCODE V43
Description: Homo sapiens Meis homeobox 2 (MEIS2), transcript variant a, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_170677) RefSeq Summary (NM_170677): This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins. TALE homeobox proteins are highly conserved transcription regulators, and several members have been shown to be essential contributors to developmental programs. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000424352.6 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000134138.22 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr15:36,891,850-37,100,530 Size: 208,681 Total Exon Count: 13 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr15:36,894,754-37,099,466 Size: 204,713 Coding Exon Count: 12
ID:MEIS2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Homeobox protein Meis2; AltName: Full=Meis1-related protein 1; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in various tissues. Expressed at high level in the lymphoid organs of hematopoietic tissues. Also expressed in some regions of the brain, such as the putamen. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TALE/MEIS homeobox family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
