Regulation of retinal axon growth by secreted Vax1 homeodomain protein

Regulation of retinal axon growth by secreted Vax1 homeodomain protein

Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of binocular animals cross the midline at the optic chiasm (OC) to grow toward their synaptic targets in the contralateral brain. Ventral anterior homeobox 1 (Vax1) plays an essential role in the development of the OC by regulating RGC axon growth in a non-cell auto...
