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 ZNF251 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Zinc finger, C2H2 type
  • krueppel associated box
  • transcription regulator
  • Zinc-finger double domain
  • protein binding
  • KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain -A box
