Gene information for VSX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID30813
Official gene symbolVSX1
Full namevisual system homeobox 1
Aliases,KTCN,PPCD,PPD,RINX,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a paired-like homeodomain and binds to the core of the locus control region of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster. The encoded protein may regulate expression of the cone opsin genes early in development. Mutations in this gene can cause posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and keratoconus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
