GeneID: 20



Names

Common Name: PHEX Type: Gene
Chromosome: X (NC_000023.11) Locus: NG_007563.1 (PHEX)
HUGO Symbol: PHEX Full Name: Phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked
Exons: 22 Introns: 21

Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane endopeptidase that belongs to the type II integral membrane zinc-dependent endopeptidase family. The protein is thought to be involved in bone and dentin mineralization and renal phosphate reabsorption. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Variations in the PHEX gene have been associated with the modulation of F-cell levels.
