found: From T-tubule to sarcolemma : damage-induced dysferlin translocation in early myogenesis, 2007, via WWW, June 28, 2007(ferlin family of proteins; the ferlins are named for their homology to fer-1, a C. elegans protein required for fusion of vesicles with the spermatid cell membrane; the ferlins are unique in harboring six C2 domains (5 in fer1L4). C2 domains have first been described in protein kinase C, comprise ~130 residues, and are known to bind phospholipids in a Ca[superscript2⁺]-dependent manner to act in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, protein-protein interactions, and membrane fusion)

Dysferlin has recently shown to repair damaged membranes. The ferlins are characterised by a number of non-typical C2 domains and a region of sequence common to the family.)
