PTX4 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene belongs to the pentraxin superfamily, whose members encode highly conserved multifunctional proteins. The encoded protein, like other members of this family, contains a conserved pentraxin domain at the C-terminus. The highest levels of expression of the protein were observed in bone marrow, small intestine and testes. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 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 PTX4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
