| Primary Identifier | IPR033204 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | PAX9 |
| description | PAX9 belongs to the Pax family. It is essential to generate a pool of taste bud progenitors and to maintain their competence towards prosensory cell fate induction []. It is involved in palate []and tooth morphogenesis [].PAX family members are transcription factors characterised by a ~128-amino-acid DNA-binding paired domain that makes sequence specific contacts with DNA []. In mammals, there are nine Pax proteins (PAX1-9). They regulate the morphogenesis of a wide range of organs and are key factors for the development of mammalian sensory organs such as the eye (Pax6, Pax2), nose (Pax6) and ears (Pax2, Pax8) [, ]. |
