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 IGHG2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- CH2 domain (from immunoglobulin)
- CH3 domain (from immunoglobulin)
- hinge domain
- heavy chain domain, constant
- protein binding
