 | | A DUF1081 domain (Pfam accession number PF06448) of unknown function was identified in the central region, and a von Willebrand-factor type-D domain (VWD) (Pfam accession number PF00094) at the C-terminal end. |
 | | While the VWD domain, initially identified in the human von Willebrand factor (vWF), is distributed over a wide range of proteins, the LLT module/LPD-N domain, part of the lipovitellin 1 subunit of vertebrate Vtg [6-12], contains twenty-two N-terminal conserved amino acid sequence motifs (N1 to N22) as a common denominator of LLTP [15]. |
