OLIG2
OLIG2 (Oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a fusion partner, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Works in coordination with ZNF488 to promote oligodendrocyte differentiation. Orchestrates progenitor cell fates during cortical gliogenesis and gliomagenesis. In cooperation with OLIG2, activates oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) formation while repressing the generation of olfactory bulb interneuron intermediate progenitors (OBIN) generation through transcriptional regulation of GSX2. Mechanistically, binds and silences multiple conserved enhancer elements of GSX2. Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 21q22.11 (HGNC).
