Protein Domain : DDHD domain IPR004177

Type  Domain
Description  The Nir/rdgB (N-terminal domain-interacting receptor/Drosophila retinal degeneration B proteins) family has been identified in a variety of eukaryoticorganisms, ranging from worms to mammals. Members of this family are implicated in regulation of lipid trafficking, metabolism, and signaling. TheNir/rdgB proteins contain a 180 amino-acids-long conserved region in the central part of the protein. This domain contains four conserved residues,DDHD, which may form a metal-binding site. This domain is named DDHD after these four residues. This pattern of conservation of metal-binding residues isoften seen in phosphoesterase domains [ ].The DDHD domain is found in the central part of Nir/rdgB proteins, as well as the C-terminal part of the phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A1. TheDDHD domain function is not currently known but it may be implicated in phospholipid metabolism, membrane turnover, or intracellular trafficking [].
