Abstract excerpt
PAX3 is a member of the PAX3/7 subfamily of the paired box proteins. In vertebrates, Pax3 is essential for skeletal myogenesis by activating a cascade of transcriptional events that are necessary and sufficient for skeletal myogenesis. Four related basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, MyoD, Myf5, Mrf4, and Myogenin, are targets of PAX3 and serve as myogenic regulatory factors. Although the role of Pax3...
