Phenazine Biosynthesis-Like Protein Domain Containing (PBLD) is a protein encoded by the PBLD gene in humans. This protein is involved in various biological processes and has been studied for its potential roles in disease mechanisms and therapeutic applications.
The PBLD gene is located on chromosome 10 and encodes a protein that consists of 255 amino acids . The protein is highly conserved across different species, indicating its essential biological functions . It shares significant sequence similarity with the Arabidopsis enzyme Phzf, which is involved in phenazine biosynthesis .
PBLD is known to play a role in several cellular processes, including:
Recent studies have explored the therapeutic potential of targeting PBLD in various diseases. For instance, research has shown that vitexin, a novel VDR agonist, can regulate macrophage polarization through the VDR/PBLD pathway, thereby mitigating the progression from chronic colitis to colorectal cancer . This indicates that PBLD could be a potential target for therapeutic interventions in inflammatory and cancer-related conditions.
