Function
Six3 and Six6 together suppress Wnt/β-catenin sig ling and Wnt3a/β-catenin sig ling promotes ciliary margin cells at the cost of neuroreti ( 30485816).
Model organism evidence
Mus musculus (1 reference)
In the absence of ARL13B, photoreceptors failed to develop outer segment (OS) membranous discs and axonemes, resulting in loss of function and rapid degeneration.
