Gene information for PAX4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5078
Official gene symbolPAX4
Full namepaired box 4
Aliases,KPD,MGC129960,MODY9,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. The paired box 4 gene is involved in pancreatic islet development and mouse studies have demonstrated a role for this gene in differentiation of insulin-producing beta cells. [provided by RefSeq]
