The human PAX7 gene encodes a protein containing a domain homologous to the Drosophila paired box first described in three segmentation genes. In addition to the paired box, the gene contains the conserved octapeptide and a paired-type homeobox. Two of the five known human PAX genes have been implicated in human disorders so far. Here we have used a somatic cell hybrid panel to localize PAX7 to human chromosome 1. In situ hybridization shows that PAX7 is confined to the short arm of chromosome 1 at 1p35-1p36.2.
人类PAX7基因编码一种蛋白质,该蛋白质含有一个与果蝇配对盒同源的结构域,此配对盒最早在三个体节基因中被描述。除了配对盒外,该基因还包含保守的八肽和一个配对型同源异型框。到目前为止,五个已知的人类PAX基因中有两个与人类疾病有关。在这里,我们使用体细胞杂交板将PAX7定位到人类1号染色体上。原位杂交显示,PAX7定位于1号染色体短臂的1p35-1p36.2区域。
