Description

Exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; cilium assembly; and peripheral nervous system development. Localizes to nucleus. Used to study coloboma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7 and renal coloboma syndrome. Is expressed in several structures, including immature eye; mesoderm; nervous system; neural keel; and pronephros. Orthologous to human PAX2 (paired box 2).
