Also known as: HUP1; RMS2; PAX7B; CMYP19; MYOSCO<br />This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) transcription factor family. Members of this gene family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired homology domain. These genes play key roles in fetal development and cancer growth. The exact function of the paired box 7 gene is unknown, but it is speculated to be involved in tumor suppression, as fusion of this gene to a member of the forkhead domain family has been implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
