| PF01549 | ShK domain-like | domain |
This domain of is found in several C. elegans proteins. The domain is 30 amino acids long and rich in cysteine residues. There are 6 conserved cysteine positions in the domain that form three disulphide bridges. The domain is found in the potassium channel inhibitor ShK in sea anemone [1][2].
