GlossaryMSX2 (Homeobox protein MSX-2)

gene involved in embryonic development and hair follicle formation

MSX2, also known as Msh homeobox 2, is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the regulation of embryonic development and cell differentiation. It plays a crucial role in the formation of various tissues, including bones and hair follicles. Mutations in the MSX2 gene have been linked to conditions such as craniosynostosis, a disorder characterized by the premature fusion of skull bones, and alopecia, which is hair loss.
