Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7849
Gene name Paired box 8
Gene symbol PAX8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PAX-8
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q14.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically encode proteins that contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. This nuclear protein is involved in
