Vax2 - ventral anterior homeobox 2 Gene

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in forebrain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including dorsal/ventral axis specification; eye development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human VAX2 (ventral anterior homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
