PRRX2

Function

The DNA-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the paired family of homeobox proteins. Expression is localized to proliferating fetal fibroblasts and the developing dermal layer, with downregulated expression in adult skin. Increases in expression of this gene during fetal but not adult wound healing suggest a possible role in mechanisms that control mammalian dermal regeneration and prevent formation of scar response to wounding. The expression patterns provide evidence consistent with a role in fetal skin development and a possible role in cellular proliferation.[6]

gollark: I suppose that could plausibly result in lyricLy marking down the rest?
gollark: Any other ideas? Or ideas about causes for some of the vaguer ones?
gollark: I can see many possibilities:- someone somehow revoked their 10/10 one- LyricLy decided that the 10/10 one was insincere in some way- LyricLy reassigned it 11/10 or something ridiculous- LyricLy marked it down for some reason (new better one?)- LyricLy accidentally deleted one of the 10/10 ones- LyricLy deleted one of them because it criticized his rule- marking system reevaluated
gollark: DId you randomly Ðelete them?
gollark: What? What happened?
