Mouse Gene Vsx2 (ENSMUST00000021665.11) from GENCODE VM23 Comprehensive Transcript Set (only Basic displayed by default)
Description: Mus musculus visual system homeobox 2 (Vsx2), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_007701) RefSeq Summary (NM_007701): This gene encodes a member of the Vsx (visual system homeobox) family which belongs to the larger PRD homeobox class. The encoded protein is required for eye organogenesis and controls retinal development. Disruption of this gene is associated with ocular retardation J (orJ), a mouse disease which causes microphthalmia, retinal degeneration and optic nerve aplasia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]. Gencode Transcript: ENSMUST00000021665.11 Gencode Gene: ENSMUSG00000021239.12 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: mm10 chr12:84,569,762-84,595,457 Size: 25,696 Total Exon Count: 5 Strand: + Coding Region Position: mm10 chr12:84,569,943-84,593,454 Size: 23,512 Coding Exon Count: 5
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
