First (N-terminal) immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of nectin-like molecule 2; member of the V-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of nectin-like molecule-2, Necl-2 (also known as cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), SynCAM1, IGSF4A, Tslc1, sgIGSF, and RA175). Nectin-like molecules have similar domain structures to those of nectins. At least five nectin-like molecules have been identified (Necl-1 - Necl-5). They all have an extracellular region containing three Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic region. The N-terminal Ig-like domain of the extracellular region, belongs to the V-type subfamily of Ig domains, is essential to cell-cell adhesion, and plays a part in the interaction with the envelope glycoprotein D of various viruses. Necl-2 has Ca(2+)-independent homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion activity. Necl-2 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and is a putative tumour suppressor gene, which is downregulated in aggressive neuroblastoma.

Fourth 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 fourth 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 fourth 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 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 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.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactin; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactins. Contactins are neural cell adhesion molecules and are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. The first four Ig domains form the intermolecular binding fragment, which arranges as a compact U-shaped module via contacts between Ig domains 1 and 4, and between Ig domains 2 and 3. Contactin-2 (TAG-1, axonin-1) may play a part in the neuronal processes of neurite outgrowth, axon guidance and fasciculation, and neuronal migration. This group also includes contactin-1 and contactin-5. The different contactins show different expression patterns in the central nervous system. During development and in adulthood, contactin-2 is transiently expressed in subsets of central and peripheral neurons. Contactin-5 is expressed specifically in the rat postnatal nervous system, peaking at about 3 weeks postnatal, and a lack of contactin-5 (NB-2) results in an impairment of neuronal activity in the rat auditory system. Contactin-5 is highly expressed in the adult human brain in the occipital lobe and in the amygdala. Contactin-1 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and may, through a RhoA mechanism, facilitate invasion and metastasis of human lung adenocarcinoma. This group belongs to the I-set of IgSF domains.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors. 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, Robo2, Robo3), and three mammalian Slit homologs (Slit-1,Slit-2, Slit-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, Robo2, and Robo3 are expressed by commissural neurons in the vertebrate spinal cord and Slit-1, Slit-2, and Slit-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 the Ig1 domain, while the Ig2 domain has been proposed to harbor a weak secondary binding site. This group belongs to the I-set of IgSF 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.

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.

agrin-responsive second immunoglobulin-like domains (Ig2) of the Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) ectodomain; a member of the I-set of Ig superfamily domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin-like (Ig) domains of the Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) ectodomain. MuSK is a receptor tyrosine kinase specifically expressed in skeletal muscle, where it plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). MuSK is activated by agrin, a neuron-derived heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The activation of MUSK in myotubes regulates the formation of NMJs through the regulation of different processes including the specific expression of genes in subsynaptic nuclei, the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the clustering of the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) in the postsynaptic membrane. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. 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. Unlike the V-set, one of the distinctive features of I-set domains is the lack of a C" strand. The structure of the MuSK lacks this strand and thus it belongs to the I-set of the IgSF. 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.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors. Robo receptors play a role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS), and are receptors of the 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, Robo2, and Robo3), and three mammalian Slit homologs (Slit-1,Slit-2, Slit-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, Robo2, and Robo3 are expressed by commissural neurons in the vertebrate spinal cord and Slit-1, Slit-2, Slit-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.

Third immunoglobulin domain of Nectin-like Protein-5, and similar domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin domain of Nectin-like Protein-5 (also known as Cluster of Differentiation 155 (CD155)). Nectin-like Protein-5 mediates NK (Natural Killer) cell adhesion and triggers NK cell effector functions. CD155 binds two different NK cell receptors: CD96 and CD226. These interactions accumulate at the cell-cell contact site, leading to the formation of a mature immunological synapse between NK cell and target cell. This may trigger adhesion and secretion of lytic granules and IFN-gamma and activate cytotoxicity of activated NK cells. CD155 may also promote NK cell-target cell modular exchange, and PVR transfer to the NK cell. This transfer is more important in some tumor cells expressing a lot of PVR, and may trigger fratricide NK cell activation, providing tumors with a mechanism of immunoevasion. Moreover, CD155 plays a role in mediating tumor cell invasion and migration.

Fifth immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactin; The members here are composed of the fifth immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactins. Contactins are neural cell adhesion molecules and are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. The first four Ig domains form the intermolecular binding fragment, which arranges as a compact U-shaped module via contacts between Ig domains 1 and 4, and between Ig domains 2 and 3. Contactin-2 (TAG-1, axonin-1) may play a part in the neuronal processes of neurite outgrowth, axon guidance and fasciculation, and neuronal migration. This group also includes contactin-1 and contactin-5. The different contactins show different expression patterns in the central nervous system. During development and in adulthood, contactin-2 is transiently expressed in subsets of central and peripheral neurons. Contactin-5 is expressed specifically in the rat postnatal nervous system, peaking at about 3 weeks postnatal, and a lack of contactin-5 (NB-2) results in an impairment of neuronal activity in the rat auditory system. Contactin-5 is highly expressed in the adult human brain in the occipital lobe and in the amygdala. Contactin-1 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and may, through a RhoA mechanism, facilitate invasion and metastasis of human lung adenocarcinoma.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Axl/Tyro3 family receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs); member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in the Axl/Tyro3 family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). This family includes Axl (also known as Ark, Ufo, and Tyro7), Tyro3 (also known as Sky, Rse, Brt, Dtk, and Tif), and Mer (also known as Nyk, c-Eyk, and Tyro12). Axl/Tyro3 family receptors have an extracellular portion with two Ig-like domains followed by two fibronectin-types III (FNIII) domains, a membrane-spanning single helix, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. Axl, Tyro3, and Mer are widely expressed in adult tissues, though they show higher expression in the brain, lymphatic and vascular systems, and testis. Axl, Tyro3, and Mer bind the vitamin K dependent protein Gas6 with high affinity, and in doing so activate their tyrosine kinase activity. Axl/Gas6 signaling may play a part in cell adhesion processes, prevention of apoptosis, and cell proliferation.

Immunoglobulin-like Ig0 domain of basigin-1 (BSG1) and similar proteins; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of the collagenase stimulatory factor, basigin-1 (BSG1; also known as Cluster of Differentiation 147 (CD147) and Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer (EMMPRIN)) and similar proteins. CD147 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed in nearly all cells including platelets and fibroblasts and is involved in inflammatory diseases, and cancer progression. CD147 is highly expressed in several cancers and used as a prognostic marker. The two primary isoforms of CD147 that are related to cancer progression have been identified: CD147 Ig1-Ig2 (also called Basigin-2) that is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues and CD147 Ig0-Ig1-Ig2 (also called Basigin-1) that is retinal specific and implicated in retinoblastoma. Studies showed that CD147 Ig0 domain is a potent stimulator of interleukin-6 and suggest that the CD147 Ig0 dimer is the functional unit required for activity.

Mahya genes have been retained in certain Bilaterian branches during evolution. They are conserved in Hymenoptera and Deuterostomes, but are absent from other metazoan species such as fruit fly and nematode. Mahya proteins are secretory, with a follistatin-like domain (Kazal-type serine/threonine protease inhibitor domain and EF-hand calcium-binding domain), two Ig-like domains, and a novel C-terminal domain. Mahya may be involved in learning and memory and in processing of sensory information in Hymenoptera and vertebrates. Follistatin is a secreted, multidomain protein that binds activins with high affinity and antagonizes their signaling.

Third immunoglobulin domain in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 22; member of the Constant 2 (C2)-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin domain in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 22 (also known as Siglec-2). CD22, a sialic-acid binding immunoglobulin type-lectin (Siglec) family member, is an inhibitory co-receptor of the B-cell receptor (BCR). The inhibitory function of CD22 and its restricted expression on B cells makes CD22 an attractive target against dysregulated B cells that cause autoimmune diseases and B-cell-derived cancers. CD22 plays a vital role in establishing a baseline level of B-cell inhibition, and thus is an important determinant of homeostasis in humoral immunity. Siglecs are primarily expressed on immune cells and recognize sialic acid-containing glycan ligands. Siglecs are organized as an extracellular module composed of Ig-like domains (an N-terminal variable set of Ig-like carbohydrate recognition domains, and 1 to 16 constant Ig-like domains), followed by transmembrane and short cytoplasmic domains. Human Siglecs are classified into two subgroups, one subgroup is comprised of sialoadhesin (Siglec-1), CD22 (Siglec-2), and MAG (Siglec-4, myelin-associated glycoprotein), the other subgroup is comprised of CD33-related Siglecs which include CD33 (Siglec-3) and human Siglecs 5-11. 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. This group belongs to the C2-set of IgSF domains, having A, B, and E strands in one beta-sheet and A', G, F, C' in the other. Unlike other Ig domain sets, the C2-set lacks the D strand.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like I-set domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM-1) and similar proteins; The members here are composed of the fourth immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM-1). NCAM plays important roles in the development and regeneration of the central nervous system, in synaptogenesis and neural migration. NCAM mediates cell-cell and cell-substratum recognition and adhesion via homophilic (NCAM-NCAM), and heterophilic (NCAM-non-NCAM), interactions. NCAM is expressed as three major isoforms having different intracellular extensions. The extracellular portion of NCAM has five N-terminal Ig-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. The double zipper adhesion complex model for NCAM homophilic binding involves Ig1, Ig2, and Ig3. By this model, Ig1 and Ig2 mediate dimerization of NCAM molecules situated on the same cell surface (cis interactions), and Ig3 domains mediate interactions between NCAM molecules expressed on the surface of opposing cells (trans interactions), through binding to the Ig1 and Ig2 domains. The adhesive ability of NCAM is modulated by the addition of polysialic acid chains to the fifth Ig-like domain. Also included in this group is NCAM-2 (also known as OCAM/mamFas II and RNCAM) NCAM-2 is differentially expressed in the developing and mature olfactory epithelium (OE). One of the unique features of I-set domains is the lack of a C" strand. The structures of this group show that the Ig domain lacks this strand and thus is a member of the I-set of Ig domains.

First immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactin-1; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily domains; The members here are composed of the first immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule contactin-1. Contactins are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. Contactin-1 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and may, through a RhoA mechanism, facilitate invasion and metastasis of human lung adenocarcinoma. This group belongs to the I-set of IgSF domains.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM-1); member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM-1). NCAM plays important roles in the development and regeneration of the central nervous system, in synaptogenesis and neural migration. NCAM mediates cell-cell and cell-substratum recognition and adhesion via homophilic (NCAM-NCAM), and heterophilic (NCAM-non-NCAM), interactions. NCAM is expressed as three major isoforms having different intracellular extensions. The extracellular portion of NCAM has five N-terminal Ig-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. The double zipper adhesion complex model for NCAM homophilic binding involves Ig1, Ig2, and Ig3. By this model, Ig1 and Ig2 mediate dimerization of NCAM molecules situated on the same cell surface (cis interactions), and Ig3 domains mediate interactions between NCAM molecules expressed on the surface of opposing cells (trans interactions) through binding to the Ig1 and Ig2 domains. The adhesive ability of NCAM is modulated by the addition of polysialic acid chains to the fifth Ig-like domain.
