Generic protein structure example

Pallidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLDN gene.[1][2]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene may play a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. It interacts with Syntaxin 13 which mediates intracellular membrane fusion. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.[2]

Interactions

PLDN has been shown to interact with:
