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 RFPL2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SPRY domain
- RING-type zinc-finger
- RFPL defining motif (RDM)
- zinc finger of C3HC4-type, RING
- RING finger (Really Interesting New Gene) domain and U-box domain superfamily
- Ring finger
- associated with SPRY domains
- SPRY-associated domain
