There are several domains within MVP, among the most important is the highly conserved<scene name='78/783129/C-terminus/2'> α- helical domain</scene> near the C-terminus that functions as a coiled coil which mediates an interaction between different MVPs and subsequently vault formation. The N-terminal of MVP was reported to bind Ca2+, but while it has been speculated that MVP contains at least two Ca2+-binding [[EF hand]]s in<scene name='78/783129/Ef-hand_location/1'> positions 131–143</scene> <ref> Yu, Z., Fotouhi-Ardakani, N., Wu, L., Maoui, M., Wang, S., Banville, D., and Shen, S.
