| Type | domain | Description | The ZP domain mediates polymerization, leading to the formation of long filaments (PubMed:12021773, PubMed:26673890). The core of the filament consists of stacked ZP domains which assemble into a helical structure. Each ZP domain consists of an N-terminal (ZP-N) and C-terminal (ZP-C) region connected by a flexible linker; the linker allows the ZP domain to wrap around the ZP-C subdomain of the preceding subunit. The heavily glycosylated N-terminal part of the protein (containing several EGF-like domains) forms branches which protrude from the core and may be involved in pathogen capture (By similarity). |
