Abstract: CDX2 is a recently found nuclear transcription factor, which is specifically expressed in intestinal cells.CDX2 is involved in the regulation of intestine specific genes, it plays a significant role in the differentiation, proliferation in the intestinal epithelium cells. This article reviews the previous studies of CDX2.

Key words: intestine epithelia; transcription factors; CDX2; caudal-related homeobox gene
