Prospero homeobox protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PROX1 gene.^[5]^[6] The Prox1 gene is critical for the development of multiple tissues. Prox1 activity is necessary and sufficient to specify a lymphatic endothelial cell fate in endothelial progenitors located in the embryonic veins.^[7]
