Protein moonlighting
text:
Protein moonlighting is a phenomenon by which a protein can perform more than one function. It is an excellent example of gene sharing. Ancestral moonlighting proteins originally possessed a single function but, through evolution, acquired additional functions. Many proteins that moonlight are enzymes; others are receptors, ion channels or chaperones. The most common primary function of moonlighting proteins is enzymatic catalysis, but these enzymes have acquired secondary non-enzymatic roles. S
