PAX2

Developmental System · Morphogenesis & Embryonic Axis Patterning

Why can a developmental gene such as PAX2 matter after birth?

PAX2 makes a DNA-binding regulator that helps direct organ formation and maintain certain cells. A developmental role can therefore leave lasting effects on organ function rather than ending at birth.
