Gene

PAX2

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
PAX2
Name
paired box 2
Synonyms
  • FSGS7
  • paired box homeotic gene 2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including kidney development; negative regulation of metabolic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in centriolar satellite and nucleoplasm. Implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7; renal Wilms' tumor; and renal coloboma syndrome. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease and nephroblastoma.
RGD Description
PAX2 encodes paired box gene 2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. The central feature of this transcription factor gene family is the conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional supression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1. Mutations within PAX2 have been shown to result in optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
