    Summary
    This gene encodes a homeobox protein that is similar to the Drosophila 'sine oculis' gene product. This gene is found in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 12 and is thought to be involved in eye development. The encoded transcription factor regulates early progenitor cell proliferation during mammalian retinogenesis and pituitary development. Mice lacking this gene exhibit abnormal development of the suprachiasmatic nucleus and circadian rhythms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
