About Runx2

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; general transcription initiation factor binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in cellular response to Fibroblast Growth Factor stimulus; osteoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of ossification. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleidocranial dysplasia and metaphyseal dysplasia-maxillary hypoplasia-brachydacty syndrome. Orthologous to human RUNX2 (RUNX family transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
