Paired box 7 (PAX7) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1p36.13. The encoded protein belongs to the PAX family and is expressed in central nervous system (CNS), craniofacial tissue, somites/skeletal muscle. PAX7 protein consists of paired domain (PD), an octapeptide (OP) motif and the helix-turn-helix motif of the homeodomain 1, 2 and 3 (HD1/2/3).
This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this gene family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. The specific function of the paired box 7 gene is unknown but speculated to involve tumor suppression since fusion of this gene with a forkhead domain family member has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq)

Paired box 7 (PAX7) in muscle-derived stem cells, plays an essential role in myogenic satellite cell specification, by inhibiting alternate developmental programs. Variation in the gene expression is associated with melanoma, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma. PAX7 and PAX3 is also implicated in skeletal muscle formation and regeneration.

Pax genes play key roles in the formation of tissues and organs during embryogenesis. Pax3 and Pax7 mark myogenic progenitor cells and regulate their behavior and their entry into the program of skeletal muscle differentiation. Recent results have underlined the
The paired box transcription factor Pax7 was isolated by representational difference analysis as a gene specifically expressed in cultured satellite cell-derived myoblasts. In situ hybridization revealed that Pax7 was also expressed in satellite cells residing in adult muscle. Cell culture
A collection of 1,108 case-parent trios ascertained through an isolated, nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) was used to replicate the findings from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) conducted by Beaty et al. (Nat Genet 42:525-529, 2010)

Skeletal muscle has an outstanding capacity for regeneration in response to injuries, but there are disorders in which this process is seriously impaired, such as sarcopenia. Pharmacological treatments to restore muscle trophism are not available, therefore, the identification of suitable
