The EXPERA (EXPanded EBP superfamilly) domain is conserved among the following
protein families:
Vertebrate TM6SF1 (Transmembrane 6 Superfamily Member 1).
Vertebrate TM6SF2 (Transmembrane 6 Superfamily Member 2).
Eukaryotic MAC30 (Meningioma-associated protein 30) also known as TMEM97
(Transmembrane protein 97), mainly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum
(ER).
Eukaryotic EBP (Emopamil binding protein), an enzyme with a D8, D7 sterol
isomerase activity that catalyzes the transposition of a double bond from
C8=C9 to C7=C8 in the sterol B-ring.
The EXPERA domain contains four transmembrane regions and is likely to possess
a sterol isomerase catalytic activity [1].
The profile we developed covers the entire EXPERA domain.
