Background
PAX2 (Paired Box 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PAX2 include Papillorenal Syndrome and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis 7. Among its related pathways are Neural Stem Cells and Lineage-specific Markers and Nephrotic syndrome. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include transcription factor binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding. An important paralog of this gene is PAX5. Transcription factor that may have a role in kidney cell differentiation (PubMed:24676634). Has a critical role in the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS. ( PAX2_HUMAN,Q02962 )
