superfamily
This superfamily represents the reeler (reelin) domain, a ~170 amino acid module which has been identified in the extracellular matrix proteins reelin and F-spondin (renamed Spon1) PMID:18602404,PMID:19020352. F-spondin is a secreted and extracellular matrix-attached protein that has been implicated in axonal pathfinding during neural development as well as in vascular remodelling in adult tissues PMID:19020352. The reelin domain is found in association with other modules, such as the thrombospondin type I repeat (TSP1), the spondin domain, the fibronectin type III domain or the Kunitz trypsin protease inhibitor domain. Its function is not yet known PMID:9441663,PMID:10409509. Although some of these proteins are specifically expressed in neural tissues, no specific biological function has been attributed to this domain PMID:19020352.
The reeler domain of F-spondin is composed of four-stranded and five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheets that are arranged in a beta-sandwich fold.
