- Description
- ceh-10 encodes a member of the Paired-like class of homeodomain proteins; the CEH-10 homeodomain is closely related to the homeodomains of two vertebrate retina proteins (Chx10 from mice and Vsx-1 from goldfish); ceh-10 is required for CAN cell fate specification and migration, complete loss of ceh-10 function results in failure of CAN cell migration and loss of expression of CEH-23 and CEH-10 itself in the CAN and AIY interneurons; CEH-10, along with TTX-3 and CEH-23, constitutes a regulatory cascade of transcription factors that controls all sub-type specific features of the AIY interneurons.
