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 SMYD5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • protein-lysine N-methyltransferase
  • histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity (H4-K20 specific)
  • MYND finger
  • histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity (H3-K36 specific)
  • SET (Su(var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, Trithorax) domain superfamily
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
