The homeobox DNA-binding domain is a 60 amino acid motif that is conserved among many species and functions to bind DNA via a helix-turn-helix structure. The homeobox DNA-binding domain is commonly found in proteins that play a role in development and are involved in transcriptional regulation and the control of gene expression. GSH-2 (GS homeobox-2), also known as GSX2, is a 304 amino acid protein that contains one homeobox DNA-binding domain. Localized to the nucleus, GSH-2 is thought to function as a transcription factor that selectively binds the DNA sequence 5'-CNAATTAG-3'. Specifically, GSH-2 may be involved in neuronal differentiation, playing a role in spinal cord development.
