Orderable Test Description
Paired Box 2 (PAX2) is a transcription factor that is essential for kidney development. In kidneys of normal adult, Pax2 protein expression is limited to nuclei of collecting ducts and to a lesser extent in distal tubules. PAX2 is expressed in early kidney organogenesis as well as in Wilms' tumor and renal cell carcinoma. PAX2 can be useful in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.
