Ci-Prx

Gene product: unknown
Organism: C. intestinalis
Summary of experiments3kb upstream of the ATG is enough to drive expession in the sensory vesicle around the ocellus.

When knocked-down by morpholinos, only one pigmented cell, the spherical otholith, is present. The cup-shaped ocellus is absent.
Activity reported
