PAX-8 is a transcription factor expressed during the embryonic development of Müllerian organs,kidneys, and thyroid, with continued expression in some epithelial cell types of these maturetissues. PAX-8 is a useful marker for neoplasms of gynecologic, renal, and thyroidorigin. This antibody targets the N-terminus of the PAX-8 molecule. This section of the protein isshared with other PAX proteins such as PAX-5 and PAX-6; thus, some cross-reactivitywith these proteins may be observed as evidenced by the labeling of selected lymphocytes, andneuroendocrine cells.

Thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1), thyroid transcription factor 2 (TTF2) and paired box gene 8 (Pax8) are demonstrated to play a crucial role for the differentiation and organogenesis of thyroid follicular cells. Their roles in thyroid carcinogenesis are not very

US-guided fine needle aspiration cytology is currently the best diagnostic tool for thyroid nodules. However, it is not sensitive and specific enough for differentiating between benign and malignant follicular tumors. A potentially useful marker for this differentiation is the PAX8-PPARgamma

Epithelial ovarian carcinomas develop from ovarian surface epithelia that undergo complex differentiation to form distinguishable phenotypes resembling those of the epithelia of the female urogenital regions. While previous studies have implicated regulatory developmental homeobox (HOX) genes in this process, other

Pax genes encode for transcription factors essential for tissue development in many species. Pax8, the only member of the family expressed in the thyroid tissue, is involved in the morphogenesis of the gland and in the transcriptional regulation of thyroid-specific
