Gene information for PHEX (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5251
Official gene symbolPHEX
Full namephosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked
Aliases,HPDR,HPDR1,HYP,HYP1,PEX,XLH,
Gene summaryThe 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. [provided by RefSeq]
