Cyp1b1 Regulates Ocular Fissure Closure Through a Retinoic Acid-Independent Pathway

摘要

PURPOSE. Mutations in the CYP1B1 gene are the most commonly identified genetic causes of primary infantile-onset glaucoma. Despite this disease association, the role of CYP1B1 in eye development and its in vivo substrate remain unknown. In the present study, we used zebrafish to elucidate the mechanism by which cyp1b1 regulates eye development.
