General annotation (Comments)

Function

Seems to be required for maintenance of peripheral nerve myelin sheath. May have a role in axon-glial interactions, possibly by interacting with the cytoplasmic domains of integral membrane proteins such as myelin-associated glycoprotein in the periaxonal regions of the Schwann cell plasma membrane. May have a role in the early phases of myelin deposition.

Subunit structure

Interacts with SCN10A. Found in a complex with SCN10A.

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Isoform 1: Cell membrane By similarity. Note: Associated with plasma membrane during myelination By similarity.

Isoform 2: Cytoplasm By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are found in sciatic nerve and Schwann cells. Ref.5

Domain

Has a remarkable domain of repetitive pentameric units sometimes followed by a tripeptide spacer, it may separate two functional basic and acidic domains.

The Arg/Lys-rich basic domain functions as a tripartite nuclear localization signal.

Involvement in disease

Defects in PRX are a cause of Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS) [MIM:145900]; also known as Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy (DSN) or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy III (HMSN3). DSS is a severe degenerating neuropathy of the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease category, with onset by age 2 years. DSS is characterized by motor and sensory neuropathy with very slow nerve conduction velocities, increased cerebrospinal fluid protein concentrations, hypertrophic nerve changes, delayed age of walking as well as areflexia. There are both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of Dejerine-Sottas syndrome. Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the periaxin family.

Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q9BXM0-1)

Also known as: L-periaxin;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q9BXM0-2)

Also known as: S-periaxin;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     128-147: NIQSLSPVKKKKMVPGALGV → VRVLSPAPALDCPSDPVSAP
     148-1461: Missing.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q9BXM0-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-139: Missing.
     1063-1127: Missing.
