Summary
PINX1 (PIN2 (TERF1) interacting telomerase inhibitor 1, HGNC:30046) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p23.1, encoding PIN2/TERF1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1 (Q96BK5). Microtubule-binding protein essential for faithful chromosome segregation.
Enables telomerase RNA binding activity and telomerase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of protein localization to nucleolus; and protein localization to organelle. Acts upstream of or within telomere maintenance via telomerase. Located in several cellular components, including chromosomal region; nuclear lumen; and spindle. Implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 176 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
