Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Transcription factor with important functions in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system and pancreas. Required for the differentiation of pancreatic islet alpha cells. Competes with PAX4 in binding to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Regulates specification of the ventral neuron subtypes by establishing the correct progenitor domains (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus.

Disease Associations

Note=Defects in Pax6 are the cause of a condition known as small eye (Sey) which results in the complete lack of eyes and nasal primordia.

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are the major isoforms among different eye tissues. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are expressed in the retina and cornea. In the lens epithelium, isoform 1 is relatively abundant, but isoform 3 is barely detectable. {ECO:0000269PubMed:21084637}.
