PROSITE documentation PDOC00367 |
The following mammalian lipid-binding serum glycoproteins belong to the same family [1,2,3]:
These proteins are structurally related and share many regions of sequence similarities. As a signature pattern we have selected one of these regions, which is located in the N-terminal section of these proteins; a region which could be involved in the binding to the lipids [2].
