MENTAL domain
Protein domain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MENTAL or MLN64 NH2-terminal domain is a membrane-spanning domain that is conserved in two late endosomal proteins in vertebrates, MLN64 and MENTHO.[1] The domain is 170 amino acids long.
Current data indicates that this domain allows for dimerization between MLN64 and MENTHO molecules and with themselves.[2] The domain may also direct cholesterol transport.
