CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that plays an important role in the
CC development of several organs, including kidney, skull and stomach.
CC During kidney development, maintains cap mesenchyme multipotent nephron
CC progenitor cells in an undifferentiated state by opposing the inductive
CC signals emanating from the ureteric bud and cooperates with WNT9B to
CC promote renewing progenitor cells proliferation. Acts through its
CC interaction with TCF7L2 and OSR1 in a canonical Wnt signaling
CC independent manner preventing transcription of differentiation genes in
CC cap mesenchyme such as WNT4. Also acts independently of OSR1 to
CC activate expression of many cap mesenchyme genes, including itself,
CC GDNF and OSR1. During craniofacial development plays a role in growth
CC and elongation of the cranial base through regulation of chondrocyte
CC differentiation (PubMed:20515681). During stomach organogenesis,
CC controls pyloric sphincter formation and mucosal growth through
CC regulation of a gene network including NKX2-5, BMPR1B, BMP4, SOX9 and
CC GREM1 (PubMed:19660448). During branchial arch development, acts to
CC mediate HOXA2 control over the insulin-like growth factor pathway
CC (PubMed:18321982). May also be involved in limb tendon and ligament
CC development (PubMed:7720577). Plays a role in cell proliferation and
CC migration (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NPC8,

CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with TCF7L2; in a canonical Wnt signaling
CC independent manner; prevents transcription of differentiation genes in
CC cap mesenchyme. Interacts with OSR1; form a strong repressor complex
CC with TCF7L2, TLE2 and TLE3 to prevent the activation of Wnt/beta-
CC catenin target genes in the cap mesenchyme. Interacts with HOXA11, EYA1
CC and EYA3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11734542, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12215533,

CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8814301}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in phalangeal tendons, in smooth muscle
CC and in head and body mesenchyme.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: First expressed at 8.5 dpc of embryo development
CC in a restricted mesodermal subpopulation at the anterior hindbrain
CC level. Expression of SIX2 in the developing limb begins at 11 dpc and
CC is more pronounced ventrally. It progresses into the developing
CC phalanges at 12.5 dpc. At 10.5 dpc expressed in the metanephric
CC blastema, which signals the ureteric bud to evaginate from the Wolffian
CC duct. At 11.5 dpc expressed at high levels in the dorsal anephric
CC mesenchyme and is down-regulated where pretubular aggregates will form
CC on the ventral side of the ureteric bud. At 14.5 dpc, expression
CC persists in the peripheral mesenchyme of the renal cortex. At 9.5 dpc,
CC expressed in the splanchnic mesoderm of the stomach anlage. By 10.5
CC dpc, expressed in the mesoderm of the posterior stomach. Expression is
CC seen in the presumptive glandular stomach primordium at 11.5 dpc. At
CC 12.5 dpc, becomes restricted to the mesenchyme of the antral region of
CC the posterior stomach. At 14.5 dpc, expression remains in the antrum,
CC just anterior to the pyloric sphincter. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17036046,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19660448}.
CC -!- INDUCTION: Down-regulated by CTNNB1 upon differentiarion. Activated by
CC TLX1 in the kidney and repressed by HOXA2 in the branchial arch and
CC facial mesenchyme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18321982,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19716816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22902740}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Six2 knockout heterozygous mice not exhibit any
CC obvious abnormalities. However, Six2 knockout nullizygous mice die soon
CC after birth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17036046}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family.
CC {ECO:0000305}.
