C-terminal cystine knot-like domain (CTCK) The structures of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta), nerve growth factor (NGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and gonadotropin all form 2 highly twisted antiparallel pairs of beta-strands and contain three disulphide bonds. The domain is non-globular and little is conserved among these presumed homologues except for their cysteine residues. CT domains are predicted to form homodimers.
