<p align="justify">Neuropilin-1 has three different domains<ref name="structural study"/>. A cytoplasmic domain which contains 40 residues, a transmembrane domain which contains 24 residues and a 850-residues ectodomain<ref name="human neuropilin">Christian C.

The latter is an assembly of five individual motifs (a1,<scene name='86/868191/Domaine_a2/1'>a2</scene>,<scene name='86/868191/Domaine_b1/1'>b1</scene>,<scene name='86/868191/Domaine_b2/1'>b2</scene> and c). It contains, hence two [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUB_domain CUB domains] (a1/a2), two homologous domains to coagulation factors V/VIII (b1/b2) and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAM_domain MAM domain] (c). The ligand binding is mediated by the (a1/a2) and (b1/b2) portion of the ectodomain while the c domain mediates Neuropilin oligomerization. However MAM domain isn't able to support on its own multimerization of NRP molecules. So, it might contribute to the assembly and regulation of the signaling complexes by positionning the other extracellular domains of NRPs away from the membrane.<ref name="MAM domain">PMID: 27720589</ref></p>

<p align="justify"> For example, the semaphorins (SEMA) bind to the (a1/a2/b1) domains while Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) bind to (b1/b2)<ref name="structural study"/>. The c domain as well as the transmembrane domain, is involved in the receptor dimerization. The cytoplasmic domain does not contain a binding domain but a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDZ_domain PDZ domain]. This segment is only 42-44 amino acids length and by the way hasn't any catalytic function. It participates in the formation and stimulation of signalling complexes.</p>
