The EGF-like domains have a length of approximately 40 amino acids and are characterized by a conserved arrangement of six cysteine residues that form 3 evenly spaced disulfide bonds.< | The EGF-like domains have a length of approximately 40 amino acids and are characterized by a conserved arrangement of six cysteine residues that form 3 evenly spaced disulfide bonds.<ref> PMID: 2116263</ref> The biological function of EGF-like domains are largely unknown, some proteins containing them, may have some EGF-like functions also. | ||
Recent crystal structures suggest that the N-terminal epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain is flexibly, while the second EGF domain maintains contacts with the catalytic domain. | Recent crystal structures suggest that the N-terminal epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain is flexibly, while the second EGF domain maintains contacts with the catalytic domain. | ||
