| Primary Identifier | IPR014878 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | THAP4-like_heme-bd |
| description | Nitrobindins (Nbs), constituting a heme-protein family spanning from bacteria to Homo sapiens, display an all-β-barrel structural organization. Proteins containing this domain are putatively related to fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) [].This domain can be found in THAP4 from mammals and At1g79260 from Arabidopsis. THAP4 catalyzes the heme-based conversion of peroxynitrite into nitrate/NO3- in vitro []. At1g79260 is a nitrophorin-like heme-binding protein that may reversibly bind nitric oxide (NO) and be involved in NO transport []. This entry also includes the β-barrel domain of Caenorhabditis elegans protein male abnormal 7 (Mab-7) which plays an important role in determining body shape and sensory ray morphology []. |
