The phrase "a common function in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a typical role or purpose that something serves within a particular context or system.
Example: "In many software applications, a common function in user interfaces is to provide easy navigation for users."
Alternatives: "a typical role in" or "a standard function in".
In mammals, our analysis detected positively selected (PS) sites in exposed regions in both TLR1 (286Q, 286Q Figure 3A) and TLR6 (296D Figure 3B) at similar regions (suggesting both regions are functionally important, and possibly share a common function) in or near the central domain but not in TLR2.
This approach is based on the commonly accepted assumption that orthologs genes derived by speciation are more likely to share a common function, in contrast to paralogs genes derived by gene duplication which are expected to diverge functionally over time [ 1, 2].
A second putative ncRNA (78th most highly-expressed) shares homology with a transcript expressed in the wallaby mammary transcriptome, suggesting a common function in marsupial lactation.
Converting 4 4 4 YCbCr to 4 2 2 YCbCr is a common function in digital video.
But even though competitive research is such a common function in organizations, there's no system of record for it.
The structural conservation of this element suggests that it could have a common function in the life cycle of flaviviruses.
All Nit1C genes form clusters of closely related sequences within their respective superfamilies, suggesting a common function, possibly in a pathway for detoxification of plant or microbial defense compounds.
It may involve the convergent evolution of some cyclophilins to perform a common function present in some, but not all, of the fungi, or it could indicate the presence of shared evolutionary pressures within subsets of the fungi.
Biochemical data demonstrated reduced SFK activity in nonstimulated CD148-deficient megakaryocytes, supporting a common function of CD148 in regulating basal SFK activity in megakaryocytes and platelets.
This analysis facilitates a further investigation for a common function of the microRNAs in the imprinted cluster.
Thus, the regulation of multiple tumor suppressor genes was a common function of ERK oscillations in murine and human model systems.
