Pax9 - paired box 9

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure development; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; odontogenesis; and regulation of odontogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tooth agenesis. Orthologous to human PAX9 (paired box 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
