DM9 refers to an uncharacterized protein domain that is originally discovered in Drosophila melanogaster . Two proteins with DM9 repeats have been recently identified from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas as mannose-specific binding pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). In the present study, a novel...
