We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.
Amos Bairoch

Description

The reelin domain is a ~170 amino acid module, which has been identified in the amino terminus of the extracellular matrix proteins reelin and F-spondin (renamed Spon1). The spondin domain is found in association with other modules, such as the thrombospondin type I repeat (TSP1) (see <PDOC50092>), the spondin domain (see <PDOC51020>), the fibronectin type III domain (see <PDOC50853>) or the Kunitz trypsin protease inhibitor domain (see <PDOC00252>). The function of the reelin domain is not yet known [1,2,3].

The profile we developed covers the entire reelin domain.
