Several group 2 allergen proteins belong to the ML domain family. They include Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, group 2 (Der p 2) and D. farinae, group 2 (Der f 2) allergens. These house dust mites cause heavy atopic diseases such as asthma and dermatitis. Although the allergenic properties of these proteins have been well characterized, their biological function in mites is unknown.
