High impact information on ceh-10

In contrast, the acquisition of several pan-neuronal features is unaffected in ceh-10 and ttx-3 mutants, suggesting that the activity of these homeobox genes separates pan-neuronal from subtype-specific differentiation programs [1].
We describe the homeobox gene ceh-10 from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans [2].
As assayed in transgenic worms, the promoter region of ceh-10 directs expression of a lacZ reporter gene to a small number of neurons [2].
Transcripts of ceh-10 and ceh-11 are present in embryonic RNA but are greatly diminished in later developmental stages [3].
Comparison of the amino acid sequences of Vsx-2, Vsx-1, Chx10, and C. elegans ceh-10 reveal a conserved homeodomain and a unique domain termed the CVC domain [4].

Other interactions of ceh-10

The C. elegans neuronally expressed homeobox gene ceh-10 is closely related to genes expressed in the vertebrate eye [2].
