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 NUDT8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NUDIX domain
- pyrophosphatase
- enzyme
- manganese ion binding
- magnesium ion binding
- NUDIX hydrolase superfamily
