Pax7 - paired box 7

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor 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 and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; chordate embryonic development; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Orthologous to human PAX7 (paired box 7).
