Summary: Enables vinculin binding activity. Involved in muscle structure development; nematode larval development; and nematode pharyngeal pumping. Located in adherens junction; contractile muscle fiber; and podosome. Is expressed in body wall musculature and pharynx. Orthologous to several human genes including LPXN (leupaxin) and PXN (paxillin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

a loss-of-function allele of pxl-1 shows that loss of paxillin leads to early larval arrested animals with paralyzed pharyngeal muscles and eventual lethality
Title: The Caenorhabditis elegans paxillin orthologue, PXL-1, is required for pharyngeal muscle contraction and for viability.
