Paired box gene 4, also known as PAX4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PAX4 gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Function

This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. The paired box gene 4 is involved in pancreatic islet development and mouse studies have demonstrated a role for this gene in differentiation of insulin-producing beta cells.^[5]
