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 FSCN3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- actin filament binding
- fascin-like domain, beta-trefoil fold, found in the fascin-like family
- actin binding
- Fascin domain
