The
PX domain has only recently been shown to be a
novel PI (phosphoinositide)-binding domain. PX
domains have been originally identified as a common
motif of about 120 amino acids in the subunits
p40phox and p47phox of the
neutrophil NADPH oxidase (Phox) complex. This
domain is conserved from yeast to man and more than
400 domain family members have been annotated in
sequence databases (e.g. SMART database:
http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/)
