description: This domain is found at the N-terminal of Magnetotaxis protein MtxA from Magnetospirillum
  gryphiswaldense ([swissprot:A4TUL6]) and similar sequences from magnetotactic aquatic proteobacteria.
  Magnetotaxis is believed to direct the swimming of cells toward growth-favoring microoxic zones in natural
  waters [[cite:PUB00154088]].
