Summary
Enables 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 negative regulation of apoptotic process involved in development; nervous system development; and urogenital system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of protein-DNA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and tibia. Used to study renal coloboma syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7 and renal coloboma syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX2 (paired box 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
