IRX2
Iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-2, also known as Iroquois homeobox protein 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRX2 gene.[5][6]
Function
IRX2 is a member of the Iroquois homeobox gene family. Members of this family appear to play multiple roles during pattern formation of vertebrate embryos.[5]
Cancer
IRX2 gene has been observed progressively downregulated in Human papillomavirus-positive neoplastic keratinocytes derived from uterine cervical preneoplastic lesions at different levels of malignancy. [7] For this reason, IRX2 is likely to be associated with tumorigenesis and may be a potential prognostic marker for uterine cervical preneoplastic lesions progression. [7]
gollark: I see.
gollark: Is that "implement" as in "you can build a computerish thing running it" or "the individual cells will have the same behaviour they would in the actual CA, give or take the particular numbered state they're in"?
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Maybe I should make an option to generate the image at larger sizes and downscale it.
gollark: This actually looks 3D, which is very cool.
