Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
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 kidney development; negative regulation of apoptotic process involved in development; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including kidney development; mesenchymal to epithelial transition; and ureter morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Part of protein-DNA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study renal coloboma syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7; renal Wilms' tumor; and renal coloboma syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX2 (paired box 2).
