PCNX1 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein similar to the pecanex protein in Drosophila. The fly protein is a component of the Notch signaling pathway, which functions in several developmental processes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human PCNX1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
