Paired box gene 9, also known as PAX9, is a human gene[1] which is also found in mammals generally.[2]


This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. PAX9 is responsible for tooth development[2] and may more generally involve development of stratified squamous epithelia as well as various organs and skeletal elements.[1] PAX9 plays a role in the absence of wisdom teeth in some human populations (possibly along with the less well studied AXIN2 and MSX1).[2]
