  Domain Name: PX_PLD2
The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Phospholipase D2. The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions such as cell signaling, vesicular trafficking, protein sorting, and lipid modification, among others. Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of phosphatidylcholine to generate membrane-bound phosphatidic acid and choline. PLD activity has been detected in viruses, bacteria, yeast, plants, and mammals, but the PX domain is not present in PLDs from viruses and bacteria. PLDs are implicated in many cellular functions like signaling, cytoskeletal reorganization, vesicular transport, stress responses, and the control of differentiation, proliferation, and survival. PLD2 contains PX and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains in addition to the catalytic domain. It mediates EGF-dependent insulin secretion and EGF-induced Ras activation by the guanine nucleotide-exchange factor Son of sevenless (Sos). It regulates mast cell activation by associating and promoting the activation of the protein tyrosine kinase Syk. PLD2 also participates in the sphingosine 1-phosphate-mediated pathway that stimulates the migration of endothelial cells, an important factor in angiogenesis. The PX domain is involved in targeting of proteins to PI-enriched membranes, and may also be involved in protein-protein interaction.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
