EGF-like domain; There is no clear separation between noise and signal. pfam00053 is very similar, but has 8 instead of 6 conserved cysteines. Includes some cytokine receptors. The EGF domain misses the N-terminus regions of the Ca2+ binding EGF domains (this is the main reason of discrepancy between swiss-prot domain start/end and Pfam). The family is hard to model due to many similar but different sub-types of EGF domains. Pfam certainly misses a number of EGF domains.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in neuregulins; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in neuregulins (NRGs). NRGs are signaling molecules which participate in cell-cell interactions in the nervous system, breast, heart, and other organ systems, and are implicated in the pathology of diseases including schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and breast cancer. There are four members of the neuregulin gene family (NRG-1, NRG-2, NRG-3, and NRG-4). The NRG-1 protein, binds to and activates the tyrosine kinases receptors ErbB3 and ErbB4, initiating signaling cascades. The other NRGs proteins bind one or the other or both of these ErbBs. NRG-1 has multiple functions: in the brain it regulates various processes such as radial glia formation and neuronal migration, dendritic development, and expression of neurotransmitters receptors, while in the peripheral nervous system NRG-1 regulates processes such as target cell differentiation, and Schwann cell survival. There are many NRG-1 isoforms which arise from the alternative splicing of mRNA. Less is known of the functions of the other NRGs. NRG-2 and NRG-3 are expressed predominantly in the nervous system. NRG-2 is expressed by motor neurons and terminal Schwann cells, and is concentrated near synaptic sites and may be a signal that regulates synaptic differentiation. NRG-4 has been shown to direct pancreatic islet cell development towards the delta-cell lineage.

Immunoglobulin domain I1 of the titin I-band and similar proteins; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin domain I1 of the titin I-band and similar proteins. Titin is a key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. By providing connections at the level of individual microfilaments, it contributes to the fine balance of forces between the two halves of the sarcomere. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. The two sheets are linked together by a conserved disulfide bond between B strand and F strand. IgSF domains can be divided into 4 main classes based on their structures and sequences: the Variable (V), Constant 1 (C1), Constant 2 (C2), and Intermediate (I) sets. The Ig I1 domain of the titin I-band is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand but lack a C" strand. I-set domains are found in several cell adhesion molecules (such as VCAM, ICAM, and MADCAM), and are also present in numerous other diverse protein families, including several tyrosine-protein kinase receptors, the hemolymph protein hemolin, the muscle proteins titin, telokin, and twitchin, the neuronal adhesion molecule axonin-1, and the signaling molecule semaphorin 4D that is involved in axonal guidance, immune function and angiogenesis.

Immunoglobulin domain; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig) domain found in the Ig superfamily. The Ig superfamily is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. Members of this group are components of immunoglobulin, neuroglia, cell surface glycoproteins, including T-cell receptors, CD2, CD4, CD8, and membrane glycoproteins, including butyrophilin and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein. A predominant feature of most Ig domains is a disulfide bridge connecting the two beta-sheets with a tryptophan residue packed against the disulfide bond. Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains can be divided into 4 main classes based on their structures and sequences: the Variable (V), Constant 1 (C1), Constant 2 (C2), and Intermediate (I) sets. Typically, the V-set domains have A, B, E, and D strands in one sheet and A', G, F, C, C' and C" in the other. The structures in C1-set are smaller than those in the V-set; they have one beta sheet that is formed by strands A, B, E, and D and the other by strands G, F, C, and C'. Moreover, a C1-set Ig domain contains a short C' strand (three residues) and lacks A' and C" strand. Unlike other Ig domain sets, C2-set structures do not have a D strand. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand, but lack a C" strand.

Fourth Ig domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule contactin-2, and similar domains; The members here are composed of the fourth Ig domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule contactin-2. Contactins are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. Contactin-2 (also called TAG-1, axonin-1) facilitates cell adhesion by homophilic binding between molecules in apposed membranes. The first four Ig domains form the intermolecular binding fragment which arranges as a compact U-shaped module by contacts between Ig domains 1 and 4, and domains 2 and 3. It has been proposed that a linear zipper-like array forms, from contactin-2 molecules alternatively provided by the two apposed membranes.

Fifth Ig-like domain of Roundabout (Robo) homolog 1/2, and similar domains; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the fifth Ig-like domain of Roundabout (Robo) homolog 1/2 and similar domains. Robo receptors play a role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS), and are receptors of Slit protein. Slit is a repellant secreted by the neural cells in the midline. Slit acts through Robo to prevent most neurons from crossing the midline from either side. Three mammalian Robo homologs (Robo1, -2, and -3), and three mammalian Slit homologs (Slit-1,-2, -3), have been identified. Commissural axons, which cross the midline, express low levels of Robo; longitudinal axons, which avoid the midline, express high levels of Robo. Robo1, -2, and -3 are expressed by commissural neurons in the vertebrate spinal cord and Slits 1, -2, -3 are expressed at the ventral midline. Robo-3 is a divergent member of the Robo family which instead of being a positive regulator of slit responsiveness, antagonizes slit responsiveness in precrossing axons. The Slit-Robo interaction is mediated by the second leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of Slit and the two N-terminal Ig domains of Robo, Ig1 and Ig2. The primary Robo binding site for Slit2 has been shown by surface plasmon resonance experiments and mutational analysis to be is the Ig1 domain, while the Ig2 domain has been proposed to harbor a weak secondary binding site. The fifth Ig-like domain of Robo 1 and 2 is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand but lack a C" strand.

Interactions between IgG and FcgammaR are important to the initiation of cellular and humoral response. IgG binding to FcgammaR leads to a cascade of signals and ultimately to functions such as antibody-dependent-cellular-cytotoxicity (ADCC), endocytosis, phagocytosis, release of inflammatory mediators, etc. FcgammaR has two Ig-like domains. This group also contains FcepsilonRI which binds IgE with high affinity.

The VEGFRs have an extracellular component with seven Ig-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain interrupted by a kinase-insert domain. The VEGFR family consists of three members, VEGFR-1 (also known as Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (also known as KDR or Flk-1) and VEGFR-3 (also known as Flt-4). VEGF_A interacts with both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. VEGFR-1 binds strongest to VEGF, VEGF-2 binds more weakly. VEGFR-3 appears not to bind VEGF, but binds other members of the VEGF family (VEGF-C and -D). VEGFRs bind VEGFs with high affinity with the IG-like domains. VEGF-A is important to the growth and maintenance of vascular endothelial cells and to the development of new blood- and lymphatic-vessels in physiological and pathological states. VEGFR-2 is a major mediator of the mitogenic, angiogenic and microvascular permeability-enhancing effects of VEGF-A. VEGFR-1 may play an inhibitory part in these processes by binding VEGF and interfering with its interaction with VEGFR-2. VEGFR-1 has a signaling role in mediating monocyte chemotaxis. VEGFR-2 and -1 may mediate a chemotactic and a survival signal in hematopoietic stem cells or leukemia cells. VEGFR-3 has been shown to be involved in tumor angiogenesis and growth.

Second Ig-like domain of Junctional adhesion molecule-1 (JAM1); a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the second Ig-like domain of Junctional adhesion molecule-1 (JAM1). JAM1 is an immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) protein with two Ig-like domains in its extracellular region; it plays a role in the formation of endothelial and epithelial tight junction and acts as a receptor for mammalian reovirus sigma-1. The IgSF is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. The two sheets are linked together by a conserved disulfide bond between B strand and F strand. IgSF domains can be divided into 4 main classes based on their structures and sequences: the Variable (V), Constant 1 (C1), Constant 2 (C2), and Intermediate (I) sets. The second Ig-like domain of JAM1 is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, the A strand of the I-set is discontinuous but lacks a C" strand. I-set domains are found in several cell adhesion molecules (such as VCAM, ICAM, and MADCAM), and are also present in numerous other diverse protein families, including several tyrosine-protein kinase receptors.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of peroxidasin; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in peroxidasin. Peroxidasin has a peroxidase domain and interacting extracellular motifs containing four Ig-like domains. It has been suggested that peroxidasin is secreted and has functions related to the stabilization of the extracellular matrix. It may play a part in various other important processes such as removal and destruction of cells which have undergone programmed cell death and protection of the organism against non-self.

First immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of hemolin, and similar domains; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the first immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of hemolin and similar proteins. Hemolin, an insect immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) member containing four Ig-like domains, is a lipopolysaccharide-binding immune protein induced during bacterial infection. Hemolin shares significant sequence similarity with the first four Ig-like domains of the transmembrane cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the L1 family. IgSF domains can be divided into 4 main classes based on their structures and sequences: the Variable (V), Constant 1 (C1), Constant 2 (C2), and Intermediate (I) sets. The first Ig-like domain of hemolin is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand but lack a C" strand. I-set domains are found in several cell adhesion molecules, including vascular (VCAM), intercellular (ICAM), neural (NCAM) and mucosal addressin (MADCAM) cell adhesion molecules, as well as junction adhesion molecules (JAM).

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor, and similar domains; member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor. FGF receptors bind FGF signaling polypeptides. FGFs participate in multiple processes such as morphogenesis, development, and angiogenesis. FGFs bind to four FGF receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4). Receptor diversity is controlled by alternative splicing producing splice variants with different ligand binding characteristics and different expression patterns. FGFRs have an extracellular region comprised of three Ig-like domains, a single transmembrane helix, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand binding and specificity reside in the Ig-like domains 2 and 3, and the linker region that connects these two. FGFR activation and signaling depend on FGF-induced dimerization, a process involving cell surface heparin or heparin sulfate proteoglycans. This group also contains fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor like-1(FGFRL1). FGFRL1 does not have a protein tyrosine kinase domain at its C-terminus; neither does its cytoplasmic domain appear to interact with a signaling partner. It has been suggested that FGFRL1 may not have any direct signaling function, but instead acts as a decoy receptor trapping FGFs and preventing them from binding other receptors.
