PAX8 is a nephric transcription factor that is involved in the embryogenesis of thyroid gland, renal, and Mullerian system. It is expressed in several ovarian and kidney carcinomas, and can be a useful biomarker for these cancers for determining primary tumor sites. Rabbit Anti-PAX8 antibody recognizes zebrafish, human, mouse, rat, and canine PAX8.

生物化学的/生理学的作用
PAX8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. This nuclear protein is involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes. Mutations in its gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas.This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors.

Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

TSC renal cystic disease is poorly understood and has no approved treatment. In a new principal cell-targeted murine model of Tsc cystic disease, the renal cystic epithelium is mostly composed of type A intercalated cells with an intact Tsc2 gene
PAX8 is a nephric-lineage transcription factor and is a crucial transcription factor for organogenesis of the thyroid gland, kidney, and Müllerian system. PAX8 is shown to be expressed in a high percentage of kidney and ovarian carcinomas. Limited information is

PAX8 is a paired-box gene important in embryogenesis of the thyroid, Müllerian, and renal/upper urinary tracts, and expression of PAX8 has been previously described in carcinomas from each of these sites. However, a large study including a wide variety of
