Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations and/or deletions of PHEX ( Phosphate-regulating gene with Homologies to Endopeptidase on the X chromosome) are responsible for X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets in humans. In the present study, three Drosophila PHEX homologues (dPHEX-1, -2, -3) were isolated by the screening of a Drosophila cDNA library and expressed sequence tag (EST) database. The structural region involving motif II:...
