About This Section

Entrez Gene 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, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VAX1_HUMAN, Q5SQQ9

Function: Transcription factor that may function in dorsoventral specification of the forebrain. 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)

Defects in VAX1 are the cause of microphthalmia, syndromic, type 11 (MCOPS11) [MIM:614402]. A rare clinical

entity including as main characteristics microphthalmia and small optic nerves, cleft lip and palate, absence of

corpus callosum, hippocampal malformations, and absence of the pineal gland. Microphthalmia is a disorder of eye

formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In

many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities
