The mean pLDDT of this model is 83.3 (confident overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 54% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 25% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 15% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Key regulator of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1) specifically required for microglia function in the nervous system (By similarity). Required for activation of latent TGF-beta-1 in macrophages and microglia: associates specifically via disulfide bonds with the Latency-associated peptide (LAP), which is the regulatory chain of TGFB1, and regulates integrin-dependent activation of TGF-beta-1 (By similarity). TGF-beta-1 activation mediated by LRRC33/NRROS is highly localized: there is little spreading of TGF-beta-1 activated from one microglial cell to neighboring microglia, suggesting the existence of localized and selective activation of TGF-beta-1 by LRRC33/NRROS (By similarity).…
Interacts with TGFB1; associates via disulfide bonds with the Latency-associated peptide chain (LAP) regulatory chain of TGFB1, leading to regulate activation of TGF-beta-1 (PubMed:29909984). Interacts (via LRR repeats) with TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR9 and probably other Toll-like receptors (PubMed:23545260). Interacts with CYBB/NOX2; the interaction is direct (By similarity)
