N-terminal domain of the protein encoded by the Drosophila tweety gene and related proteins, a family of chloride ion channels. The protein product of the Drosophila tweety (tty) gene is thought to form a trans-membrane protein with five membrane-spanning regions and a cytoplasmic C-terminus. This N-terminal domain contains the putative transmembrane spanning regions. Tweety has been suggested as a candidate for a large conductance chloride channel, both in vertebrate and insect cells. Three human homologs have been identified and designated TTYH1-3. TTYH2 has been associated with the progression of cancer, and Drosophila melanogaster tweety has been assumed to play a role in development. TTYH2, and TTYH3 bind to and are ubiquinated by Nedd4-2, a HECT type E3 ubiquitin ligase, which most likely plays a role in controlling the cellular levels of tweety family proteins.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
