Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in skeletal muscle satellite cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of myoblast proliferation; and skeletal system development. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and congenital myopathy 19. Orthologous to human PAX7 (paired box 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
