The gene ventral nervous system defective is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol vnd (CG6172, FBgn0003986). It has the cytological map location 1B10. Its sequence location is X:476732..491855. Its molecular function is described as: transcription factor activity; transcription regulator activity; sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological processes: neuroblast development; glial cell development; neuroblast fate determination; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; ventral cord development; dorsal/ventral pattern formation; brain development; ectoderm development; central nervous system development; pattern specification process. 74 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 35 unique terms, many of which group under: embryonic nervous system; nervous system; primordium; organ system; ventral nerve cord primordium; embryonic neuron; portion of tissue; embryonic glial cell; embryonic procephalic segment; muscle founder cell; neuroblast NB3-2; commissure; antennal segment. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
NK2 (M. Nirenberg)
NK2 is a homeobox gene whose expression starts at the blastoderm stage during cell membrane formation (2.5-3.25-hour embryos) in the region that gives rise to the ventral nervous system. NK2 transcripts detected in the ventral nervous system at later stages of embryonic development. NK2 transcripts also found in the midgut starting at 12 hours of embryonic development and thereafter during embryonic development. NK2 mRNA also found in larvae and pupae but the abundance of the mRNA is lower than that of embryos. NK2 mRNA is expressed in the central nervous system of the adult.
vnd: ventral nervous system defective
Late embryonic lethal. Ventral nervous system disorganized and not condensed. Mutants have fewer cells in the CNS; pattern of neuronal connections damaged (Jimenez and Campos-Ortega, 1987).
