Pax6
Pax6 is a transcription factor involved in the embryonic development of the central nervous system (CNS), eyes, nose, and pancreas in mammals. Its corresponding gene, PAX6, was initially identified as being a part of a family of genes named for their shared feature, the Paired box, itself named after the paired gene in Drosophila melanogaster.
