Gene: PXN

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. These isoforms exhibit different expression pattern, and have different biochemical, as well as physiological properties (PMID:9054445).

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q24.23

Description of this Gene: paxillin

Type of Gene: protein-coding
