Phex - phosphate regulating endopeptidase X-linked

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to parathyroid hormone stimulus; cellular response to vitamin D; and response to insulin-like growth factor stimulus. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of kidney failure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. Orthologous to human PHEX (phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked).
