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 HSD17B11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- estradiol 17beta-dehydrogenase
- SDR family mycofactocin-dependent oxidoreductase
- enzyme
- protein binding
- Enoyl-(Acyl carrier protein) reductase
- short chain dehydrogenase
- steroid dehydrogenase
