pax-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in epidermal cell fate specification; gonad morphogenesis; and hemidesmosome assembly. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including AB lineage cell; E lineage cell; P9/10L; hypodermal cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and congenital myopathy 19. Is an ortholog of human PAX7 (paired box 7).
