功能: disease:Defects in PAX4 are a cause of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [MIM:125853]; also known as diabetes mellitus type 2 or maturity-onset diabetes. NIDDM is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset during adulthood and insulin resistance.,disease:Defects in PAX4 are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9 (MODY9) [MIM:612225]. MODY [MIM:606391] is a form of diabetes mellitus characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, age of onset of 25 years or younger and a primary defect in insulin secretion.,disease:Genetic variations in PAX4 are associated with susceptibility to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) [MIM:222100]. IDDM normally starts in childhood or adolescence and is caused by the body's own immune system which destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Classical features are polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis.,disease:Genetic variations in PAX4 are associated with susceptibility to ketosis-prone diabetes mellitus (KPD) [MIM:612227]. KPD belongs to a rare subgroup of type 2 diabetes with severe insulin deficiency, mostly observed in subjects of sub-Saharan African ancestry, such as west Africans, Caribbeans and African-Americans. Its phenotype is distinct from the common type 2 and type 1 diabetes. It is characterized by a fulminant initial insulin dependence, without the immunological markers observed in classical type 1 diabetes, followed by a subsequent clinical course which varies from non-insulin treated type 2 diabetes to insulin-dependent idiopathic type 1 diabetes. A severe dysfunction of the insulin-producing beta-cells is attested to by the observation that 25% of the subjects are insulin dependent at diabetes onset, whereas the remaining 75% will develop permanent insulin dependence within 10 years.,function:Plays an important role in the differentiation and development of pancreatic islet beta cells. Transcriptional repressor that binds to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Competes with PAX6 for this same promoter binding site. The Pax4v isoform appears to be a dominant negative form antagonizing PAX4 transcriptional activity.,sequence caution:According to the human genome assembly there is a stop codon in position 349.,similarity:Belongs to the paired homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 paired domain.,
