description: This entry represents an immunoglobulin-like domain found in outer membrane proteins of spirochaetes,
  particularly Treponema species. The domain is approximately 90-100 residues long and adopts the characteristic
  Ig-like fold consisting of two beta-sheets arranged in a sandwich configuration. These proteins are
  typically bipartite, containing this N-terminal periplasmic Ig-like domain and a C-terminal domain.
  The domain is found in proteins predicted to be outer membrane lipoproteins. The function of this domain
  remains to be determined.
