EntrezGene summary for VAX1 : This gene encodes a homeo-domain containing protein from a class of homeobox transcription factorswhich are conserved in vertebrates. Genes of this family are involved in the regulation of bodydevelopment and morphogenesis. The most conserved genes, called HOX genes are found in specialgene clusters. This gene belongs to the VAX subfamily and lies in the vicinity of the EMX homeoboxgene family. Another member of VAX family is located on chromosome 2. The encoded protein may playan important role in the development of anterior ventral forebrain and visual system. Multipletranscript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided byRefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VAX1_HUMAN, Q5SQQ9 Function : Required for axon guidance and major tract formation in the developing forebrain. Maycontribute to the differentiation of the neuroretina, pigmented epithelium and optic stalk (Bysimilarity)
