gene: pxn-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable peroxidase activity. Involved in muscle attachment and positive regulation of axon guidance. Located in basement membrane. Expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; excretory cell; intestine; somatic nervous system; and spermathecal-uterine valve cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease 1; asthma (multiple); kidney failure (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PXDN (peroxidasin) and PXDNL (peroxidasin like).
