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 FRZB often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NTR_like
- Wnt-protein binding
- Fz domain
- protein binding
- cysteine rich domain
- CRD_domain cysteine-rich domain, also known as Fz (frizzled) domain
