PNN Gene Summary [Human]
Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion. Located in nuclear speck. Part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Colocalizes with exon-exon junction complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 PNN often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
