A comprehensive list of domains in extracellular mosaic proteins is presented. About 40 domains were distinguished by consensus patterns. A subsequent sequence database search recognized these domains in more than 200 extracellular proteins. The results point to a structural network, which may also represent the molecular basis for a complex coordination of various functions within the world of extracellular proteins.
