VAX2 - ventral anterior homeobox 2 Gene

Also Known as DRES93

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25806

About VAX2

Cytogenetic location: 2p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:70,900,576-70,933,446 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 184 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

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, Sep 2008]
