Protein
WUSCHEL-related homeobox 2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Probable transcription factor involved in embryonic patterning. Required for apical embryo development after fertilization. Its specific localization to the apical daughter cell of the zygote, while WOX8 is confined to the basal cell, suggests that the asymmetric division of the plant zygote separates determinants of apical and basal cell fates.
Similarity
Belongs to the WUS homeobox family.
