Transmembrane And Immunoglobulin Domain Containing Protein 2 (TMIGD2)

TMIGD2 Contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Immunoglobulin-like domains that are related in both sequence and structure can be found in several diverse protein families. Ig-like domains are involved in a variety of functions, including cell-cell recognition, cell-surface receptors, muscle structure and the immune system. This entry is for immunoglobulin-like domains. Studies indicate that the interactions essential for defining the structure of these beta sandwich proteins are also important in nucleation of folding, and that proteins containing this fold may share similar folding pathways even though the proteins may have low sequence homology. The fold consists of a beta-sandwich formed of 7 strands in 2 sheets with a Greek-key topology. Some members of the fold have additional strands.
