Protein function (UniProt)

Paired box protein Pax-2

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

Curated MONDO disease pages that list PAX2 among their top associated genes.
