PDBsumstructure summary

The GRAM domain is found in glucosyltransferases, myotubularins and other membrane-associated proteins.[1] The structure of the GRAM domain is similar to that found in PH domains.[2]

Proteins containing GRAM domains are found in all eukaryotes and bacteria, but not archaea.[3] Various GRAM domains can bind proteins or lipids.[3]
