The homeobox gene mbx is involved in eye and tectum development.

Developmental biology - 1 Aug 2002

Kawahara Atsuo, Chien Chi-Bin, Dawid Igor B

Abstract excerpt

The homeobox gene mbx is first activated at the end of gastrulation in zebrafish in the presumptive forebrain and midbrain region. During somitogenesis stages, the anterior expression of mbx, which partly overlaps the future eye field, gradually decreases, while midbrain expression intensifies and becomes restricted to the presumptive tectum. Knockdown of mbx expression by morpholino antisense oligonucleotides...
