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 OCM2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- receptor binding domain
- EF-hand domain
- EF-hand domain pair
- EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in parvalbumin-like EF-hand family
- EFh
- calcium binding loop
