The extracellular region of a group of cell-surface receptors known as the polycystic kidney disease 1 family, containing, among others, polycystin-1, has been controversially described as containing four FNIII (fibronectin type III) domains or one REJ (receptor of egg jelly protein) module in the same portion of polypeptide.
