Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within enteric nervous system development; neural crest cell migration; and xanthophore differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including muscle; nervous system; neural crest; neural tube; and paraxial mesoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Waardenburg syndrome; Waardenburg syndrome type 1; Waardenburg syndrome type 3; alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma; and craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX3 (paired box 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
