Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13575
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Paired box protein Pax-4
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name PAX4
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Plays an important role in the differentiation and development of pancreatic islet beta cells. Transcriptional repressor that binds to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Competes with PAX6 for this same promoter binding site. Isoform 2 appears to be a dominant negative form antagonizing PAX4 transcriptional activity.
