PROSITE documentation PDOC51460 [for PROSITE entry PS51460] |
The Gas2-related (GAR) domain was named after Gas2 (growth arrest specific 2) and is common in plakin family members and Gas2 family members. The GAR domain comprises ~57 amino acids and has been shown to bind to microtubules [1,2].
Some proteins known to contain a GAR domain are listed below:
The profile we developed covers the entire GAR domain.
