PAX 8 Regulates Human WT1 Transcription through a Novel DNA Binding Site
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The Wilms' tumor gene (WT1) is an essential gene for kidney and gonadal development, although how WT1 expression is induced in these tissues is not known. One kidney transcription factor likely to play a role in this regulation is PAX 8. The co-expression of WT1 and PAX 8 during kidney development and in Wilms' tumors with an epithelium predominant histology suggested a possible interaction, and indeed, we...
