This entry describes a trypsin inhibitor-like (TIL) cysteine rich domain found in Otogelin, Otogelin-like proteins and Mucin proteins from eukaryotes. Otogelin is a structurally complex glycoprotein with specialised roles in the inner ear membranes. While it shares some structural similarities with mucins, including von Willebrand factor-like domains and cysteine-rich regions, it differs in its glycosylation patterns and functions. Otogelin undergoes primarily N-glycosylation and plays a critical role in the organisation of the extracellular matrix within the inner ear. In contrast, mucins like MUC5B and MUC19 are heavily O-glycosylated, gel-forming proteins that provide lubrication and protective barriers on mucosal epithelial surfaces [1-5]. The TIL domain is characterised by the presence of five disulfide bonds (two of which are located on either side of the reactive site) in a single small protein domain of 61-62 residues [6].
This domain contains 8 conserved cysteine residues, but this family only contains 7 of them to overlaps with other domains. It is found in disease-related proteins including von Willebrand factor, Alpha tectorin, Zonadhesin and Mucin. It is often fo ...
This domain contains 8 conserved cysteine residues, but this family only contains 7 of them to overlaps with other domains. It is found in disease-related proteins including von Willebrand factor, Alpha tectorin, Zonadhesin and Mucin. It is often found on proteins containing Pfam:PF00094 and Pfam:PF01826.
Swiss:P17554 contains a vwd domain. Its function is unrelated but the similarity is very strong by several methods. This domain is structurally homologous to the C-terminal domain of repulsive guidance molecules (RGM) despite low sequence identity [2 ...

This domain is found in human von Willebrand factor (vWF) and similar proteins mainly found in animals. vWF is important in the maintenance of hemostasis and acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury. This domain adopts an all-beta structure [1]. It is often found associated to Pfam:PF00094.
