| Primary Identifier | IPR040817 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | LIFR_D2 |
| description | This is the D2 domain in cytokine-binding module 1 (CBM1) found in Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) and OSM receptors (OSMR). LIFR has an extracellular region with a modular structure containing two cytokine-binding modules (CBM) separated by an Ig-like domain and followed by three membrane-proximal fibronectin type-III (FNIII) domains. The D2 domain in CBM1 shows structural similarity to the corresponding CBM domains of both gp130 and IL-6Ralpha because it contains conserved structural features like the WSXWS motif [, ]. The WSXWS motif in cytokine receptors is a molecular switch involved in receptor activation []. |
