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 NRAP often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Nebulin-like super repeat domain
- LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain, containing two zinc fingers
- actinin binding
- actin binding
- vinculin binding
- protein binding
- Nebulin repeat
