PQBP1 is a transcription repressor which is connected to polyglutamine tract-containing transcription regulators and connective genes for neurodegenerative disorders. PQBP1 is restricts to the nucleus and can be found in neurons all over the brain, with high levels in hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cerebellar cortex. PQBP1 holds a WWP/WW domain that binds proline-rich motifs and a C2 domain which is able to stimulate Ca2+-dependent phospholipid signaling.
