PAX2 — WNT4
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Cai et al., J Biol Chem 2002
:
Activation of JNK by either upstream kinase MEKK1 or DLK or by expression of
Wnt signaling proteins significantly
enhances Pax2 phosphorylation in cells
Torban et al., J Biol Chem 2006
:
PAX2 activates
WNT4 expression during mammalian kidney development ... In this study we hypothesized that
PAX2 activates expression of
WNT4 , a secreted glycoprotein known to be critical for successful nephrogenesis ...
PAX2 activated
WNT4 promoter activity 5-fold in co-transfection assays with JTC12 cells derived from the proximal tubule ... We speculated that a key function of
PAX2 is to
activate WNT4 gene expression in metanephric mesenchymal cells as they differentiate to form elements of the renal tubules
