SMART accession number:SM00588
Description: domain in neuralized proteins
Interpro abstract (IPR006573):

The neuralized homology repeat (NHR) domain is a module of ~160 amino acids, which has been identified as a tandem repeat in drosophila neuralized, a protein involved in development of the central and peripheral nervous system [ (PUBMED:9519875) ]. Several other fly, worm, and mammalian neuralized-like proteins were found to contain between one and six NHR domains associated with other modules, such as RING, SOCS, or SPRY [ (PUBMED:11779830) (PUBMED:11731489) ]. It has been suggested that the NHR domain is required for the localization of neuralized to the plasma membrane [ (PUBMED:11696324) ]. As it has been proposed that NHR domains do partly resemble SPRY domains, it is possible that NHR possess microtubule-binding functions, similar to those proposed for SPRY domains [ (PUBMED:11731489) ].
