There is no clear separation between noise and signal. Pfam:PF00053 is very similar, but has 8 instead of 6 conserved cysteines. Includes some cytokine receptors. The EGF domain misses the N-terminus regions of the Ca2+ binding EGF domains (this is the main reason of discrepancy between swiss-prot domain start/end and Pfam). The family is hard to model due to many similar but different sub-types of EGF domains. Pfam certainly misses a number of EGF domains.
This domain is responsible for the high-affinity binding of calcium ions. This domain contains post-translational modifications of many glutamate residues by Vitamin K-dependent carboxylation to form gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla).
Interferon-alpha/beta receptor, fibronectin type III
Members of this family adopt a secondary structure consisting of seven beta-strands arranged in an immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich, in a Greek-key topology. They are required for binding to interferon-alpha [1].
