PRRX1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paired related homeobox 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRRX1 gene.[3][4]
Contents
Function[edit]
The 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 coactivator, 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.[4]
Role in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation[edit]
Prrx1 expression is restricted to the mesoderm during embryonic development, and both Prrx1 and Prrx2 are expressed in mesenchymal tissues in adult mice.[5][6][7][8][9] Mice that lack both Prrx1 and Prrx2 have profound defects in mesenchymal cell differentiation in the craniofacial region.[7][10] Several recent studies demonstrate that PRRX1 can regulate differentiation of mesenchymal precursors. For example, PRRX1 inhibits adipogenesis by activating transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling,[11] and also acts downstream of tumor necrosis factor-alpha to inhibit osteoblast differentiation.[12]
