Reentrant loops are an important structural motif in alpha-helical transmembrane proteins. A reentrant loop is a structural motif that goes only halfway through the membrane and then turns back to the side from which it originates. <ref>PMID:20544377</ref></br> | |||
They were first seen in the aquaporin water channel. <ref>PMID: 17579561</ref>. | |||
In aquaporin, two re-entrant helix-forming loops stack on top of each other <ref>PMID: 35163313</ref>. | |||
Reentrant loops seem to be most commonly found in ion and water channel proteins. | |||
