Pfdn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable amyloid-beta binding activity; protein folding chaperone; and unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within B cell activation; actin cytoskeleton organization; and brain development. Is active in centrosome. Is expressed in limb and limb mesenchyme. Orthologous to human PFDN1 (prefoldin subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Pfdn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
