Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and sclerotome development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including alpha-beta T cell differentiation; parathyroid gland development; and thymus development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial pouch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; foregut diverticulum; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiootorenal syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX1 (paired box 1).
