Summary: Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of temperature stimulus; nervous system development; and sensory perception of mechanical stimulus. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; heart; and trunk somite. Orthologous to human DRGX (dorsal root ganglia homeobox). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Study shows that Casz1 lies downstream of Prrxl1 in the differentiation pathway of a large subset of dorsal late-born excitatory neurons and provides a framework for further studies of Casz1 in assembly of the dorsal root ganglion-spinal circuit.
Title: Zinc finger transcription factor Casz1 expression is regulated by homeodomain transcription factor Prrxl1 in embryonic spinal dorsal horn late-born excitatory interneurons.
The findings provide evidence for a putative novel role of PIN1 in the development of the nociceptive system and indicate phosphorylation-mediated conformational changes as a mechanism for regulating the PRRXL1 role in the process.
Title: A role for prolyl isomerase PIN1 in the phosphorylation-dependent modulation of PRRXL1 function.
The results of this study suggest that Prrxl1 knockout mouse model of congenital hypoalgesia may have an effect on brain plasticity that is the inverse of what is usually observed in animal models of chronic pain.
Title: Increased fronto-hippocampal connectivity in the Prrxl1 knockout mouse model of congenital hypoalgesia.
The results of this study showed that Prrxl1(-/-) animal is a valuable model system for examining the genetic assembly and functional role of trigeminal lemniscal circuits in the normal control of eating in mammals.
Title: Abolition of lemniscal barrellette patterning in Prrxl1 knockout mice: Effects upon ingestive behavior.
Tlx3 uses distinct mechanisms to tightly modulate Prrxl1 activity, either by controlling its transcriptional levels or by increasing Prrxl1 phosphorylation state.
Title: Dual role of Tlx3 as modulator of Prrxl1 transcription and phosphorylation.
Prrxl1 uses distinct regulatory regions to repress its own expression in dorsal root ganglia and dorsal spinal cord.
Title: Paired related homeobox protein-like 1 (Prrxl1) controls its own expression by a transcriptional autorepression mechanism.
Data suggest phosphorylation at serine-119 is a determinant of Prrxl1 conformation/transcriptional activity in embryonic dorsal root ganglia and dorsal spinal cord nociceptive neurons and may regulate Prrxl1 during nociceptive system development.
Title: Ser¹¹⁹ phosphorylation modulates the activity and conformation of PRRXL1, a homeodomain transcription factor.
Prrxl1 transcription is regulated by three alternative promoters, which control the expression of three distinct Prrxl1 5'-UTR variants.
Title: Several cis-regulatory elements control mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and expression pattern of Prrxl1 (paired related homeobox protein-like 1).
Our present results point to a role for Prrxl1 in sensitization of nociceptive neurons upon inflammatory pain.
Title: Postnatal expression of the homeobox gene Prrxl1 (Drg11) is increased in inflammatory but not neuropathic pain.
the tissue-specific role of the Prrxl1 gene may be sustained by an accurate balance in the ratio between the amount of Prrxl1 and its OAR-lacking variant, Prrxl1-b, which may be critical during nociceptive circuit development
Title: Expression of a Prrxl1 alternative splice variant during the development of the mouse nociceptive system.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
