tail-to-tail structure
3.In order to find proteins which can interact with Protein 4.1 family and Protein MAGUK family member in nerve system, we used the cytoplasmic tail of red blood cell surface membrane protein Glycophorin C as a probe, cloned a novel human cDNA sequence and named it as NECL2 (Nectin Like Protein2), because the structure of the protein encoded by NECL2 is very similar with nectin family.
