Gene information for PAX7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5081
Official gene symbolPAX7
Full namepaired box 7
Aliases,FLJ37460,HUP1,PAX7B,RMS2,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. The specific function of the paired box 7 gene is unknown but speculated to involve tumor suppression since fusion of this gene with a forkhead domain family member has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
