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 SFTPD often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • collagen-like domain
  • C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
  • carbohydrate recognition domain
  • signal peptide
  • protein binding
  • identical protein binding
  • lipopolysaccharide binding
  • collagen homology domain
  • monosaccharide binding
  • Lectin C-type domain
  • Lung surfactant protein D coiled-coil trimerization
  • Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
  • neck domain
  • carbohydrate binding
