CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	may be a signaling adaptor molecule
	can enhance the transcriptional activity of LMO2
	may act as a specific regulator during embryonic development by modulating the transcriptional activity of a novel E-box sequence-binding complex that contains BEX2, LM2, NSCL2 and LDB1
	is implicated in oligodendroglioma biology
	has a functional interplay with JUN/JNK and RELA in breast cancer
	may be an important player during the development of glioma
	contributes to glioma development by regulating the JUN NH2-terminal kinase pathway
	regulates the invasion/migration ability of glioma cells
	increased BEX2 expression led to enhanced NFKB1 signaling as well as cell proliferation
	while BEX1 and NGFRAP1 act as tumor suppressors, BEX2 seems to act as an oncogene
	BEX2 promotes colorectal cancer cell proliferation via the JNK/JUN pathway

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

component of a DNA-binding protein complex

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with LMO2
	BEX2 promoted the progression of glioma by promoting cell migration and invasion, and these effects might be mediated by CDH2 and MMP2
	BEX2 promotes proliferation of human glioblastoma cells via NFKB1 signaling pathway and BEX2 nuclear location is critical for RELA expression
	BEX2 affects the invasion and migration ability of glioma cells by regulating CTNNB1
