Paired box protein Pax-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PAX5 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

The PAX5 gene is a member of the

B-cell lineage specific activator protein (BSAP) that is expressed at early, but not late stages of B-cell differentiation. Its expression has also been detected in developing CNS and testis, therefore, PAX5 gene product may not only play an important role in B-cell differentiation, but also in neural development and spermatogenesis.[7]

Clinical significance

The PAX5 gene is located in chromosome 9p13 region, which is involved in t(9;14)(p13;q32) translocations recurring in small

plasmacytoid subtype, and in derived large-cell lymphomas. This translocation brings the potent E-mu enhancer of the IgH gene locus into close proximity of the PAX5 promoters, suggesting that the deregulation of PAX5 gene transcription contributes to the pathogenesis of these lymphomas.[7]

Up to 97% of the

Hodgkin's lymphoma express Pax-5.[8]

Interactions
