Pinx1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable telomerase RNA binding activity and telomerase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of protein localization to nucleolus; and protein localization to organelle. Predicted to act upstream of or within telomere maintenance via telomerase. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromosome; nucleoplasm; and spindle. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; lung; mammary gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human PINX1 (PIN2 (TERF1) interacting telomerase inhibitor 1).

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 mouse Pinx1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
