PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a paired DNA binding domain with a truncated homeo domain, comprising two structurally distinct N terminal (NTS), including a homonucleotide tracts of seven guanines and C terminal subdomains
  • a truncated helix-turn helix DNA binding domain
  • an intermediary octapeptide motif
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Pax9
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • paired family of homobox protein
  • CATEGORY transcription factor

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the development of a variety of organs and skeletal elements
  • transcription factor that is important in tooth development

    INTERACTION
    DNA binding (homeodomain)
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with FOXG1, JARID1B
  • interaction with MSX1 ( MSX1 may serve as a modulator of the PAX9 transcription factor activity, fine-tuning BMP4 expression, and regulating its own expression in a feedback loop)
  • interacting with OSR2 (OSR2 acts downstream of PAX9 and patterns the mesenchymal odontogenic field through protein-protein interactions with MSX1 and PAX9 during early tooth development)
  • cell & other
