Cingulin-like 1 also known as paracingulin or junction-associated-coiled-coil protein (JACOP) is a protein which is encoded by the CGNL1 gene.The paracingulin polypeptide comprises a globular N-terminal head domain and an α-helical C-terminal domain which is presumed to form a coiled-coil dimer. Paracingulin is a paralog of cingulin that arose probably from gene duplication. The CGNL1 gene is conserved among different vertebrate species and has not been so far identified in invertebrates.
