Pdxk Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables pyridoxal kinase activity. Involved in pyridoxal metabolic process; pyridoxal phosphate metabolic process; and pyridoxamine metabolic process. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PDXK (pyridoxal kinase).

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