NCIt definition : Human PAX5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p13 and is approximately
201 kb in length. This allele, which encodes paired box gene Pax-5 protein, is involved
in transcriptional activation during B-cell differentiation, neural development and
spermatogenesis. In some lymphomas, the expression of the wild-type allele is elevated
as a result of a translocation t(9;14)(p13;q32).;
