NKX2-2 NK2 homeobox 2

ENSG00000125820 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Transcriptional activator involved in the development of insulin-producing beta cells in the endocrine pancreas (By similarity). May also be involved in specifying diencephalic neuromeric boundaries, and in controlling the expression of genes that play a role in axonal guidance. Binds to elements within the NEUROD1 promoter (By similarity). .

In 3 of 15 cancers, the evidence for NKX2-2 comes mainly from inherited variants

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.3246299922466278 (upper bound 0.5857399702072144). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of NKX2-2's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of NKX2-2's drugs are registered
