Pxdn Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable heme binding activity; laminin-1 binding activity; and peroxidase activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including extracellular matrix organization; hydrogen peroxide catabolic process; and protein homotrimerization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including basement membrane; cell surface; and collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anterior segment dysgenesis 7. Orthologous to human PXDN (peroxidasin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pxdn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
