Pphln1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be involved in constitutive heterochromatin formation and protein localization to heterochromatin. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; future spinal cord; ganglia; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PPHLN1 (periphilin 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 Pphln1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
