This domain, described as D8C domain (cysteine-rich domain), is found in human Uromodulin (UMOD) and similar animal proteins. UMOD functions in biogenesis and organization of the apical membrane of epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and may serve as a receptor for binding and endocytosis of cytokines (IL-1, IL-2) and TNF. This domain adopts a predominantly beta structure [3].
