Pnkd Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase activity and metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; neuromuscular process controlling posture; and regulation of dopamine metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Orthologous to human PNKD (PNKD metallo-beta-lactamase domain containing).

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 Pnkd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF4748)
  • Metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily
  • Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase C-terminus
  • protein binding
  • metallo-hydrolase-like_MBL-fold
