- Description
- Predicted to have sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in camera-type eye photoreceptor cell differentiation. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in isolated microphthalmia 3. Is expressed in eye; immature eye; optic primordium; and presumptive diencephalon. Orthologous to human RAX (retina and anterior neural fold homeobox).
