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 SLC41A1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • antiporter
  • inorganic uptake permease
  • protein binding
  • magnesium ion transporter
  • metal ion transporter
  • transporter
