PAX9 [SEP] found in taxon
PAX9
Paired box gene 9, also known as PAX9, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the "PAX9" gene. It is also found in other mammals.
Expression and function.
This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. During mouse embryogenesis Pax9 expression starts from embryonic day 8.5 and becomes more evident by E9.5; at this stage its expression is restricted to the pharyngeal endoderm. Later on, Pax9 is also expressed in the axial skeleton. Pax9
of the PAX9 gene, MSX1 gene mutations have also shown to affect dental development in fetuses.
Interactions.
PAX9 has been shown to interact with JARID1B.
