Anti-Zebrafish Pax2 / Pax2a / Pax2b

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Paired box gene 2, also known as PAX2, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PAX2 gene. This gene is mapped to 10q24. 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. Protein function: Probable transcription factor involved in the development of the midbrain/hindbrain boundary (MHB) organizer and specification of neuronal cell fates. Required for establishment of eng2 and eng3 gene expression in the midbrain and MHB primordium during late gastrulation. [The UniProt Consortium]
