High impact information on vsx1

  • The combined expression patterns of teleost vsx1 and vsx2 (alx) during early zebrafish development encompasses the expression pattern observed for murine Chx10, and indicates a partitioning of function for CVC genes in lower vertebrates [1].
  • vsx1 is a homeobox gene encoding a paired-type homeodomain and a CVC domain that was originally cloned from an adult goldfish retinal library [1].
  • At about the same time that retinal expression began, the level of vsx1 was decreased in the spinal cord [1].
  • We previously reported the spatiotemporal expression pattern of vsx1 in the adult and developing retina of zebrafish and goldfish, and we suggested that vsx1 plays a role in determining the cell fate and maintenance of retinal interneurons [1].
