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 human TM7SF2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- D14-sterol reductase
- NADP binding
- enzyme
- protein binding
- delta14-sterol reductase
- Isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase (ICMT) family
