| Function |
Plays a critical role in eye formation by regulating the initial specification of retinal cells and/or their subsequent proliferation. Binds to the photoreceptor conserved element-I (PCE-1/Ret 1) in the photoreceptor cell-specific arrestin promoter.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the developing eye and weakly expressed in the adult retina.
