| Biochem/physiol Actions: | PAX8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. This nuclear protein is involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes. Mutations in its gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas.This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors.

Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. |

| General description: | PAX8 is a nephric transcription factor that is involved in the embryogenesis of thyroid gland, renal, and Mullerian system. It is expressed in several ovarian and kidney carcinomas, and can be a useful biomarker for these cancers for determining primary tumor sites. Rabbit Anti-PAX8 antibody recognizes zebrafish, human, mouse, rat, and canine PAX8. |
