| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human PRRX2 (paired related homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations are phenotypically normal, but Prrx1/Prrx2 double knockout homozygotes exhibit more severe skeletal defects than Prrx1 single knockout mutants, involving structures unaffected in the latter.
