About This Section
| EntrezGene summary for VAX2: This gene encodes a homeobox protein and is almost exclusively expressed in the ventral portion of the retina during development. In mouse studies, this gene was found to be required for the correct formation of the optic fissure and other aspects of retinal development. [provided by RefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VAX2_HUMAN, Q9UIW0Function: Plays a crucial role in eye development and, in particular, in the specification of the ventral optic vesicle (By similarity). May be a regulator of axial polarization in the retina |
