This family contains, amongst other G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs), members of the opsin family, which have been considered to be typical members of the rhodopsin superfamily. They share several motifs, mainly the seven transmembrane helices, GCPRs of the rhodopsin superfamily. All opsins bind a chromophore, such as 11-cis-retinal. The function of most opsins other than the photoisomerases is split into two steps: light absorption and G-protein activation. Photoisomerases, on the other hand, are not coupled to G-proteins - they are thought to generate and supply the chromophore that is used by visual opsins [1].
Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily are found in hundreds of proteins of different functions. Examples include antibodies, the giant muscle kinase titin and receptor tyrosine kinases. Immunoglobulin-like domains may be involved in protein-prote ...

Members of this family adopt an immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich, with seven strands in 2 beta sheets, in a Greek key topology. They are predominantly found in the extracellular portion of CD4 proteins, where they enable interaction with major histo ...

The envelope glycoprotein Gp160 of HIV1 is cleaved into the surface protein Gp120 and the transmembrane protein Gp41. The entry of HIV requires interaction of viral GP120 with the CD4 glycoprotein (Swiss:P01730) and a chemokine receptor on the cell s ...
The envelope glycoprotein Gp160 of HIV1 is cleaved into the surface protein Gp120 and the transmembrane protein Gp41. The entry of HIV requires interaction of viral GP120 with the CD4 glycoprotein (Swiss:P01730) and a chemokine receptor on the cell surface [1]. Gp160 us proteolytically cleaved n the trans-Golgi and activated by cellular furin or furin-like proteases to produce gp120 and gp41 [1,2].
