Pallidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLDN gene. 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. Interactions PLDN has been shown to interact with: BLOC1S1, BLOC1S2, CNO, Dysbindin, MUTED, SNAPAP, and STX12. References Further reading
