## Interactions

[edit | edit source]

PROX1 has been shown to interact with EP300.[3]

## Production

[edit | edit source]

PROX1 is produced primarily in the dentate gyrus in the mouse, and in the dentate gyrus and white matter in humans. Gene expression data for mouse, human and macaque from the Allen Brain Atlases can be found here.

## Clinical significance

[edit | edit source]

PROX1 is used as a marker for lymphatic endothelium in biopsy samples.
