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 LIPM often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- alpha/beta hydrolase fold
- alpha/beta hydrolases
- Partial alpha/beta-hydrolase lipase region
- enzyme
- lipoprotein lipase
