| Description | The MD-2-related lipid-recognition (ML) domain is implicated in lipid recognition, particularly in the recognition of pathogen related products. It has an immunoglobulin-like β-sandwich fold similar to that of E-set Ig domains. This domain is present in proteins from plants, animals and fungi, including the following proteins: Epididymal secretory protein E1 (also known as Niemann-Pick C2 protein - Npc2), which is known to bind cholesterol. Niemann-Pick disease type C2 is a fatal hereditary disease characterised by accumulation of low-density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol in lysosomes [ ].House-dust mite allergen proteins such as Der f 2 from Dermatophagoides farinae and Der p 2 from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus [ ].This entry refers to the ML domain found in phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylglycerol transfer protein (PG/PI-TP). PG/PI-TP has been shown to bind phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol, but the biological significance of this is still obscure [ ]. |
