pxn-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable peroxidase activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; muscle attachment; and regulation of cellular component organization. Located in basement membrane. Expressed in PVQL; PVQR; hypodermis; and vulval muscle. 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).
