DNA/RNA

Description

The PAX5 coding region extends over a genomic interval of approximately 200 kb and comprises 10 exons.

Transcription

Two alternative transcripts have been identified, originating from alternative promotor usage, containing exon 1A or 1B; full length mRNA is 3650 bp; transcription is from centromere to telomere.

Proteins

Description

391 amino acids, 42 kDa, PAX5 belongs to the paired box family of transcription factors, contains a paired box (DNA binding) domain, a truncated homeo domain homology region, and a transactivation domain.

Expression

B lymphocytes, the developing CNS, and adult testis.

Localisation

Nuclear.

Function

Involved in a multitude of developmental processes, PAX5 expression is not only continuously required for B cell lineage commitment during early B cell development but also for B lineage maintenance, involved in the regulation of the CD19 gene, a B-lymphoid-specific target gene.
