PCYOX1 Gene Summary [Human]
Prenylcysteine is released during the degradation of prenylated proteins. PCYOX1 catalyzes the degradation of prenylcysteine to yield free cysteines and a hydrophobic isoprenoid product (Tschantz et al., 1999 [PubMed 10585463]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

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 PCYOX1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
- FAD binding
- prenylcysteine lyase
- prenylcysteine oxidase
- NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-like domain
- enzyme
- protein binding
