products description :
This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically encode proteins which 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 this gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [NCBI Entrez Gene Summary]

uniprot summary :
PAX8: Transcription factor for the thyroid-specific expression of the genes exclusively expressed in the thyroid cell type, maintaining the functional differentiation of such cells. Interacts with WWTR1. Expressed in the excretory system, thyroid gland and Wilms tumors. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q13. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; DNA binding; transcription factor activity; thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor activity. Biological Process: regulation of apoptosis; inner ear morphogenesis; anatomical structure morphogenesis; central nervous system development; transcription, DNA-dependent; ureteric bud branching; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; thyroid gland development; mesonephros development; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; kidney development; pronephros development; urogenital system development. Disease: Hypothyroidism, Congenital, Nongoitrous, 2
