GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 2556
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Ephb1
Name: Eph receptor B1
Acc ID: GO:0021631
Term: optic nerve morphogenesis
Definition: The process in which the anatomical structure of the optic nerve is generated and organized. The sensory optic nerve originates from the bipolar cells of the retina and conducts visual information to the brainstem. The optic nerve exits the back of the eye in the orbit, enters the optic canal, and enters the central nervous system at the optic chiasm (crossing) where the nerve fibers become the optic tract just prior to entering the hindbrain.

Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
