Also known as: Prx2
Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human PRRX2 (paired related homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Upregulation of PRRX2 by silencing Marveld3 as a protective mechanism against radiation-induced ferroptosis in skin cells.
Title: Upregulation of PRRX2 by silencing Marveld3 as a protective mechanism against radiation-induced ferroptosis in skin cells.
PRRX1- and PRRX2-positive mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells are present at the periphery of the embryonic pituitary and participate in pituitary vasculogenesis by differentiation into vascular endothelial cells and pericytes.
Title: PRRX1- and PRRX2-positive mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells are involved in vasculogenesis during rat embryonic pituitary development.

PRX proteins, especially PRX2, play a role in the morphogenesis of the primordial tissues formed by the epithelio-mesenchymal interaction and that neural crest cells contribute to the morphogenesis of tissues derived from the cranial placode.
Title: Temporospatial gene expression of Prx1 and Prx2 is involved in morphogenesis of cranial placode-derived tissues through epithelio-mesenchymal interaction during rat embryogenesis.
data indicate that PRXs are produced in the pituitary progenitor cells and may play roles in the process of terminal differentiation during early pituitary organogenesis.
Title: Paired-related homeodomain proteins Prx1 and Prx2 are expressed in embryonic pituitary stem/progenitor cells and may be involved in the early stage of pituitary differentiation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
