Studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a central role in retinal ganglion cell and optic nerve formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with nonsyndromic congenital retinal nonattachment. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: Transcription factor involved in the differentiation of retinal ganglion cells. {ECO:0000250}. |HLH| |optic nerve development| |entrainment of circadian clock| |cranial nerve development| |neural retina development| |nerve development| |regulation of circadian rhythm| |retina development in camera-type eye| |circadian rhythm| |protein dimerization activity| |rhythmic process| |camera-type eye development| |eye development| |visual system development| |sensory system development| |sensory organ development| |DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
