Protein name Visual system homeobox 2 (Ceh-10 homeodomain-containing homolog) (Homeobox protein CHX10)
Protein function Acts as a transcriptional regulator through binding to DNA at the consensus sequence 5'-[TC]TAATT[AG][AG]-3' upstream of gene promoters (PubMed:27301076). Plays a significant role in the specification and morphogenesis of the sensory retina (By
