PAX2
Probable transcription factor that may have a role in kidney cell differentiation. Has a critical role in the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS. Interacts with ELGN3; the interaction targets PAX2 for destruction. Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
