  Domain Name: PDZ
PDZ domain, also called DHR (Dlg homologous region) or GLGF (after a conserved sequence motif). Many PDZ domains bind C-terminal polypeptides, though binding to internal (non-C-terminal) polypeptides and even to lipids has been demonstrated. Heterodimerization through PDZ-PDZ domain interactions adds to the domain's versatility, and PDZ domain-mediated interactions may be modulated dynamically through target phosphorylation. Some PDZ domains play a role in scaffolding supramolecular complexes. PDZ domains are found in diverse signaling proteins in bacteria, archebacteria, and eurkayotes. This CD contains two distinct structural subgroups with either a N- or C-terminal beta-strand forming the peptide-binding groove base. The circular permutation placing the strand on the N-terminus appears to be found in Eumetazoa only, while the C-terminal variant is found in all three kingdoms of life, and seems to co-occur with protease domains. PDZ domains have been named after PSD95(post synaptic density protein), DlgA (Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor), and ZO1, a mammalian tight junction protein.
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.
