Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionpxn-2 encodes a member of the peroxidasin family of extracellular peroxidases containing several LLRs, two of four Ig domains and a heme peroxidase catalytic domain, PXN-2 is closely related to human PXDN and PXDNL (OMIM: 605158); PXN-2 function becomes critical soon after the twofold stage of epidermal elongation in embryos; pxn-2 mutants display defects in late stages of epidermal elongation, in muscle and epidermal muscle attachments, in vulval muscle attachment and in morphology of adult pharynx; PXN-2 supports a role in basement membrane function and in neuronal development, PXN-2 acts in selective axon guidance decisions but not essential for axon growth; PXN-2 inhibits adult axon regrowth after injury; PXN-1 acts antagonistically to PXN-2; PXN-2 expressed in differentiated epidermal cell throughout embryonic, larval and adult development, in vulval muscles and a few neurons, in longitudinal striations adjacent to the body wall muscle quadrant close to endogenous basement membrane components.Curator_confirmedWBPerson12884

Automated_descriptionPredicted 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (17)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
