Pnkd Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in methylglyoxal catabolic process to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione. Predicted to act upstream of or within modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; neuromuscular process controlling posture; and regulation of dopamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion and presynaptic cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Orthologous to human PNKD (PNKD metallo-beta-lactamase domain containing). [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 rat 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.

- Domain of unknown function (DUF4748)
- Metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily
