About This Section

EntrezGene summary for VAX1:
This gene encodes a homeo-domain containing protein from a class of homeobox transcription factors
which are conserved in vertebrates. Genes of this family are involved in the regulation of body
development and morphogenesis. The most conserved genes, called HOX genes are found in special
gene clusters. This gene belongs to the VAX subfamily and lies in the vicinity of the EMX homeobox
gene family. Another member of VAX family is located on chromosome 2. The encoded protein may play
an important role in the development of anterior ventral forebrain and visual system. Multiple
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by
RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VAX1_HUMAN, Q5SQQ9
Function: Required for axon guidance and major tract formation in the developing forebrain. May
contribute to the differentiation of the neuroretina, pigmented epithelium and optic stalk (By
similarity)
