Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Development of the vertebrate eye requires a series of steps including specification of the anterior neural plate, evagination of the optic vesicles from the ventral forebrain, and the cellular differentiation of the lens and retina. Homeobox-containing genes, including RAX, play a critical role in vertebrate and invertebrate eye formation (Mathers et al., 1997 [PubMed 9177348]).[supplied by OMIM_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ RAX (NP_038463, 104 a.a. ~ 206 a.a) full length recombinant protein with GST tag.
