| DNA/RNA |
| Description | Three exons transcribed from telomere to centromere. |
| Protein |
| Description | 311 amino acid protein of MW 33kDa. Class I homeobox gene related to Drosophila caudal. |
| Expression | Nuclear protein normally expressed almost exclusively in the intestine, where it plays a role in the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells. |
| Mutations |
| Somatic | Found to be mutated in rare cases of colorectal carcinoma |

| Note | |
| Entity | |
| Abnormal Protein | Fusion of ETV6 exon 2 to CDX2 exon 2. The predicted protein contains the N-terminal region of ETV6 38 fused to the entire homeobox of CDX2. The single case described that harbours this fusion also expressed normal CDX2, which is not normally expressed in haemopoietic cells. |
