Entrez ID 25806
Gene name Ventral anterior homeobox 2
Gene symbol VAX2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DRES93
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p13.3
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 reti
