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 AFAP1L2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • SH2-domain binding
  • PH domain
  • protein binding
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
  • Src-homology 2 binding domain
  • SH3-domain binding
  • protein tyrosine kinase activator
