CEH-8

WormBase ID: WBGene00000433

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human RAX (retina and anterior neural fold homeobox). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is expressed in Z1 and Z4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including WAGR syndrome; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and eye disease (multiple).
