EGR2 is an early growth response organic compound 2, it is a transcription regulatory factor and is expressed in the neural crest derived cells of the cranial ganglion.
EGR2 (also termed Krox20) is a transcription regulatory factor, containing three zinc finger DNA-binding sites, and is highly expressed in a population of migrating neural crest cells. It is later expressed in the neural crest derived cells of the cranial ganglion. Further compounds of prime importance in biochemistry are antigens, carbohydrates, enzymes, hormones, lipids and fatty acids, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, proteins, peptides and amino acids, lectins, vitamins, and fats and oils. Early growth response protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EGR2 gene.
