This domain is found in Reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs from Mus musculus (RECK) and similar proteins from animals. RECK play essential roles in signalling in the central nervous system vascular development, acting to enable brain endothelial cells to selectively respond to Wnt7 signals (WNT7A or WNT7B). This protein contains five tandem and highly divergent repeats with six cysteines each and characteristic spacing. These units are named 'CC domains'. This entry represents the fourth of these domains (CC4), which consists of four short alpha-helices stabilised by three disulfide bonds [1].
