BSD Domain Containing Protein 1 (BSDC1)

BSDC1 Contains 1 BSD domain.The BSD domain is an about 60-residue long domain named after the BTF2-like transcription factors, Synapse-associated proteins and DOS2-like proteins in which it is found. Additionally, it is also found in several hypothetical proteins. The BSD domain occurs in one or two copies in a variety of species ranging from primal protozoan to human.The function of the BSD domain is yet unknown.Secondary structure prediction indicates the presence of three predicted alpha helices, which probably form a three-helical bundle in small domains. The third predicted helix contains neighbouring phenylalanine and tryptophan residues - less common amino acids that are invariant in all the BSD domains identified and that are the most striking sequence features of the domain.
