gene: ceh-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in lateral ganglion and somatic gonad precursor. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in isolated microphthalmia 3 and retinal degeneration (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RAX2 (retina and anterior neural fold homeobox 2).
