Description
Predicted to have DNA binding activity. Involved in anterior/posterior pattern specification involved in pronephros development; otic placode formation; and peripheral nervous system development. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital hypothyroidism and congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 2. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine system; mesoderm; nervous system; neurogenic field; and pronephros. Orthologous to human PAX8 (paired box 8).
