basic FUNCTION
| embryonic transcriptional regulator |
|
involved in kidney development |
|
plays a dual role in the establishment of the binocular visual pathways: first, in specification of the ventrotemporal retina, acting upstream of proteins directing the ipsilateral pathway, and second, in the patterning of the developing ventral diencephalon where the optic chiasm forms |
|
acts as a transcription repressor in controlling its downstream targets in the retina |
|
functions as a conserved determinant of temporal identity, and is required for the specification of the temporal retina |
