structural domain involved in targeting of proteins to cell membranes.This domain was first found in P40phox and p47phox domains of
NADPH oxidase (phox stands for phagocytic oxidase). It was also identified in many other proteins involved in membrane trafficking, including nexins,Phospholipase D , and phosphoinositide-3-kinase s.The PX domain is structurally conserved in
eukaryote s, although amino acid sequenves show little similarity. PX domains interact primarily with PtdIns(3)P lipids. However some of them bind to phosphatidic acid, (PtdIns(3,4)P2), PtdIns(3,5)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2), and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. The PX-domain can also interact with other domains and proteins.Human proteins containing this domain
Sorting nexin s contain this domain. Other examples are:A-388D4.1 ;C20orf161 ;C20orf23 ;HS1BP3 ;NCF1 ;NCF1C ;NCF4 ;NISCH ;PIK3C2A ;PIK3C2B ;PIK3C2G ;PLD1 ;PLD2 ;PXK ;RPS6KC1 ;SGK3 ;SGKL ;SH3PX3 ;SH3PXD2A ;SLIC1 ;SNAG1 ;References
