Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnpax-2 is a divergent Paired domain-only protein; the second part of the Paired domain (RED subdomain) is quite divergent; the Paired domain is a DNA-binding domain; npax genes mostly diverged from complete Paired domain-only and/or Paired homeobox genes; no obvious orthologs are present in arthropods or vertebrates; unlike npax-1, npax-3, and npax-4, npax-2 has both a PAI and RED subdomain, i.e. a full Paired domain; the RED domain became apparent, when previously unrecognised C-terminal exons were included in the open reading frame (ORF).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00029055

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; and vulF. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetes mellitus (multiple) and diabetic ketoacidosis. Is an ortholog of human PAX4 (paired box 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
