Pan is the daughter of Videl and Son Gohan, which also means that she is the granddaughter of both Son Goku and Mr. Satan (Hercule). She is the strongest female Saiyan to ever live. In her infancy she spent a lot of time with Goku, so she trained a lot. When she was 4 years old she was already regularly flying around the world, and attempting to beat her best times.
When Goku leaves at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, to train Uubu, he also leaves behind the very impressionable Pan who develops anger towards Goku for failing to keep his promise to visit his family and friends.
During Dragon Ball GT, Pan goes into outer space with Goku and Trunks in order to find the Black Star Dragonballs. This was not intentional, Goten was supposed to take her place, but she hit the launch button on the space ship before he had boarded.
The very last part of the series' timeline shows Pan be a 100-year-old lady with a (great?) grandson called Goku Junior.
It should be noted that Pan's name obviously follows the Pan of Roman mythology. That means that, at first glance, she appears to have been named after her mother Videl rather than her father Gohan. However, closer inspection reveals a double-pun on behalf of author Akira Toriyama, in that pan is also the Japanese word for bread, continuing her father's food-based name.
