MeSH definition : Protein modules that function in the targeting of proteins to CELL MEMBRANES. They
consist of an eight-stranded anti-parallel beta-sandwich composed of a pair of four-stranded
beta-sheets. This structural unit forms a pocket on the membrane-interacting face
of the protein and co-ordinates the binding of 2 to 3 calcium ions; however, not all
C2 domains bind calcium. Examples of C2 domain-containing proteins include PROTEIN
KINASE C and PTEN PHOSPHOHYDROLASE.;
