Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Periaxin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRX gene.[5][6][7]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

The PRX gene encodes L- and S-periaxin, proteins of myelinating Schwann cells, and is mutated in Dejerine–Sottas syndrome (MIM 145900) and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 4F (MIM 145900).[supplied by OMIM][7]
