Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Vat1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- putative NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase, PIG3 family
- MDR
- Zinc-binding dehydrogenase
- Alcohol dehydrogenase GroES-like domain
- protein binding
