PAX6ΔPD modulates the balance between proliferation and differentiation programs in corneal epithelial cells through protein-protein interactions.
PAX6 is a key regulator of corneal epithelial differentiation, expressed as multiple variants that result either from alternative splicing or by the use of an alternative internal promoter. These variants include the canonical PAX6, PAX6(5a), and the paired-less PAX6ΔPD variant. This study evaluated the functional role...
