Description
There are 9 TFs with a PAX domain, four of which, PAX[3,4,6,7], contain also a functional homeodomain (IPR001356). The PAX domain is composed of two folded domains that are connected by a tethering region, but unlike in many other TFs with this type of layout the tethering region is an active participant in the DNA-binding which inserts fully into the minor groove of DNA.
