Expressed throughout the anterior optic vesicle and all neuroblasts of the optic cup. In the mature retina Is restricted to the inner nuclear layer, in which its expression decreases from the outer to the inner margin. Also detected in regions of the developing thalamus, hindbrain, and ventral spinal cord.
