SF   murine PMX2B and homologous human Pmx2b T03961 differ only by a single amino acid substitution (A to G at position 292) [1];

CP   embryonic neurons, predominantly (nor)adrenergic cells [2].
XX
FF   can activate gene expression of DBH (dopamine beta-hydroxylase) and c-fos in response to both the PKA (protein kinase A) and PKC (protein kinase C) pathways [1];
FF   in embryonic neurons is coexpressed with Hox11L2 [2];
FF   is required for the formation of brainstem (nor)adrenergetic neurons, together with Hox11L2 and Mash1 [2];
