Peroxidasin homolog

The PXDN gene excodes a heme peroxidase which is secreted extracellularilly to support the formation of an extracellular matrix. In the glomerular basement membrane it facilutates the cross links betrww NC1 domains of collagen IV chains. Therefore some sientists postulate a role in development of glomerular diseases.
