This domain is found at the N-terminal end of Harmonin from humans (USH1C) and similar proteins from vertebrates. Harmonin is a master scaffold in the assembly of the Usher protein complexes present in the inner ear and the retina. Defects in these proteins are related to a hereditary hearing-vision loss disease, Usher syndrome I (USH1). The N-terminal domain of USH1C, which precedes the first PDZ protein- binding domain (Pfam:PF00595), adopts a compact five-helix-bundle structure [1,3].

It has been suggested that SAM is an evolutionarily conserved protein binding domain that is involved in the regulation of numerous developmental processes in diverse eukaryotes. The SAM domain can potentially function as a protein interaction module through its ability to homo- and heterooligomerise with other SAM domains.
