PYGO1 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in kidney development and spermatid nucleus differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; protein localization to nucleus; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. [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 PYGO1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
