Description
The SPX (spexin hormone) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
SPX is a gene that can refer to several different things, including a stock market index, a networking protocol, an airport in Egypt, a comics convention, a rocket manufacturer, a sports brand, a Fortune 500 company, and a Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. It can also refer to St. Pius X College in Sydney, Australia.
SPX, also known as Spexin, plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and kidney function, as well as pain perception. It is also involved in managing energy metabolism and storage. SPX can inhibit the growth of adrenal gland cells while promoting a small increase in the release of corticosteroids.
