Pax2 - paired box 2

Predicted to enable C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including aging; cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in lysosome and nucleus. Biomarker of nephroblastoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7 and renal coloboma syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX2 (paired box 2).
