Description Imported from IPR036426
* Dictyostelium discoideum comitin, an actin binding protein
* Curculigo latifolia curculin, a sweet tasting and taste-modifying protein
This domain generally binds mannose, but in at least one protein, curculin, it is apparently devoid of mannose-binding activity.
