Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: S8; Prx2
Summary: Enables 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. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts 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. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human PRRX2 (paired related homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Skeletal muscle mass was similar between the two genotypes but grip strength was reduced in old Prx2 KO mice compared to old wild-type mice. These results suggest that Prx2 plays a protective role in aging-induced insulin resistance and declines in muscle strength by suppressing oxidative stress.

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.
