CD Definition:
N-terminal conserved domain of Nudc; The N-terminus of nuclear distribution gene C homolog (NUDC) proteins contains a highly conserved region consisting of a predicted three helix bundle. In the human homolog this segment has been targeted for structure determination by the Joint Center for Structural Genomics. NUDC forms a complex with other NUD proteins and is involved in several cellular division activities. Recently it was shown that NUDC regulates platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase with PAF being a pro-inflammatory secondary lipidic messenger.
