The PAX‐5 gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. The central feature of this gene family is a novel, highly conserved DNA‐binding domain, known as the paired box. The PAX proteins are important regulators in early development, and alterations in the expression of their genes are thought to contribute to neoplastic transformation. The PAX‐5 gene encodes 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, PAX‐5 gene product may not only play an important role in B‐cell differentiation, but also in neural development and spermatogenesis.
