PAX2 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. Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system. 4 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
