A second form of basigin has also been characterized that contains one additional immunoglobulin-like domain in its extracellular portion.
These receptors are related predominantly by sequence similarities in their extracellular portions that are composed of tandem Ig-like domains.
ADAMs are classified as sheddases because they cut off or shed extracellular portions of transmembrane proteins.
This releases the extracellular portion of notch, which continues to interact with the ligand.
Insulin binds to the extracellular portion of the alpha subunits of the insulin receptor.
The glutamate binds to the extracellular portion of the receptor and provokes a response, but the various types of receptors can produce different responses.
Cleavage at this site allows the extracellular portion of the protein to be released.
These primers would span the α subunit's extracellular portion, including the P3A exon.
The extracellular portions are characterised by the presence of at least one, and usually multiple, immunoglobulin-like domains.
It is structurally similar to the C-terminal extracellular portions of Jagged 1 and Jagged 2.
