Early growth response protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EGR2 gene.

Function

The early growth response protein 2 is a transcription factor with three tandem C2H2-type zinc fingers. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 1D,[3] Dejerine–Sottas disease,[4] and Congenital Hypomyelinating Neuropathy.[5] Two studies have linked EGR2 expression to proliferation of osteoprogenitors [6] and cell lines derived from Ewing sarcoma, which is a highly aggressive bone-associated cancer. [7]
