Peters H, Doll U, Niessing J. Differential expression of the chicken Pax-1 and Pax-9 gene: in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis. Dev Dyn. 1995;203:1-16 pubmed

..Furthermore, chPax-9 gene products are detected in circumscribed areas of mesenchyme in the metatarsus and in entodermal derivatives, i.e., in the lining epithelium of the developing pharynx and of the embryonic and adult esophagus. ..
Müller T, Ebensperger C, Neubüser A, Koseki H, Balling R, Christ B, et al. Expression of avian Pax1 and Pax9 is intrinsically regulated in the pharyngeal endoderm, but depends on environmental influences in the paraxial mesoderm. Dev Biol. 1996;178:403-17 pubmed

Pax1 and Pax9 represent a subfamily of paired-box-containing genes. In vertebrates, Pax1 and Pax9 transcripts have been found specifically in mesodermal tissues and the pharyngeal endoderm...
