PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N terminal cytoplasmic region
  • a transmembrane domain with a conserved pentapeptide zinc-binding motif (HEXXH)
  • a second zinc binding motif
  • ten cysteine residues
  • conjugated GlycoP
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Phex
    intraspecies homolog to M13 zinc metallopeptidase
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • neutral endopeptidase family (zinc metallopeptidase)
  • CATEGORY enzyme , transport
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text type II membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • phosphate regulating gene on chromosome X
  • degradating FGF23, then enhancing renal phosphate transport for osteoblastic activity
  • involved in bone and dentin mineralization and renal phosphate reabsorption (glycosylation and transmembrane localization necessary to the function)
  • involved in the clearance of the phosphatonin
  • zinc endopeptidase expressed in osteoblasts and contributing to bone mineralization
  • PHEX and DMP1 control a common pathway regulating bone mineralization and FGF23 production, the latter involving activation of the FGFR signaling in osteocytes
