Gene information for PRRX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5396
Official gene symbolPRRX1
Full namepaired related homeobox 1
Aliases,PHOX1,PMX1,PRX1,
Gene summaryThe DNA-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the paired family of homeobox proteins localized to the nucleus. The protein functions as a transcription co-activator, enhancing the DNA-binding activity of serum response factor, a protein required for the induction of genes by growth and differentiation factors. The protein regulates muscle creatine kinase, indicating a role in the establishment of diverse mesodermal muscle types. Alternative splicing yields two isoforms that differ in abundance and expression patterns. [provided by RefSeq]
