name: discoidin domain-containing receptor
def: "A protein that has a core domain structure of an F5/8 type C (Pfam:PF00754) domain (or discoidin domain) followed by a Protein tyrosine kinase (Pfam:PF07714) domain. The discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) are distinguished from other members of the receptor tyrosine kinase family by a discoidin homology repeat in their extracellular domains that is also found in a variety of other transmembrane and secreted proteins."
