PAX3 is the acronym for paired box 3, a member of the PAX transcriptorial family, which in humans consists of 9 members (PAX1- PAX9). The human PAX3 gene is located on chromosome region 2q36.1. It codes for an important transcription factor. This is active in cells that originate from the neural crest. It is expressed in the nucleolus in most tissues.
