VAX2 - ventral anterior homeobox 2 Gene
Also Known as DRES93
Species: Homo sapiens
About VAX2
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]
