juxtamembrane and transmembrane (JMTM) domain found in Notch protein family
Neurogenic locus notch homolog (Notch) proteins are a family of type-1 transmembrane proteins that form a core component of the Notch signaling pathway. They operate in a variety of different tissues and play a role in a variety of developmental processes by controlling cell fate decisions. The model corresponds to the juxtamembrane and transmembrane (JMTM) domain of Notch proteins, which comprises an extended coil, a transmembrane helix (TM), and a beta-strand.
Feature 1:polypeptide substrate binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:Following an initial cleavage by alpha-secretase, the resulting transmembrane domain of Notch is cleaved by gamma-secretase to release the intracellular transcription factor.
