Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
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).
