An extracellular domain found in many receptors [1]. The MAM domain along with the associated Ig domain in type IIB receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases forms a structural unit (termed MIg) with a seamless interdomain interface. It plays a major role in homodimerisation of the phosphatase ectoprotein and in cell adhesion [2,3]. MAM is a beta-sandwich consisting of two five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheets rotated away from each other by approx 25 degrees, and plays a similar role in meprin metalloproteinases [4].
