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 LRTM2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Leucine-rich repeats, outliers
  • Leucine-rich repeats, typical (most populated) subfamily
  • Leucine rich repeat
  • Leucine rich repeat C-terminal domain
  • Leucine rich repeat N-terminal domain
  • Leucine Rich repeats (2 copies)
