What is the physiological role of PAX5?
PAX5 plays a crucial role in various physiological processes related to B-cell development and function. It acts as a positive transcription factor for GINS1 expression, controls gene expression profiles essential for cellular processes like viability and differentiation, and is pivotal for B-cell commitment and maintenance. In mature B cells, PAX5 promotes humoral immunity by facilitating differentiation and survival through posttranscriptional down-regulation of PTEN expression. Additionally, PAX5 has been found to have a negative role in osteoclastogenesis, inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. These diverse functions highlight the multifaceted role of PAX5 in regulating various aspects of B-cell biology, immunity, and bone metabolism.
