Description

Predicted to have sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in endocrine pancreas development; glucose homeostasis; and pancreas regeneration. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic ketoacidosis; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9; type 1 diabetes mellitus; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is expressed in endocrine system and stomodeum. Orthologous to human PAX4 (paired box 4).
