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 mouse Cd72 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • extracellular domain
  • immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif
  • C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
  • Coiled-coiled domain of autophagy-related 16 (Atg16) family proteins
  • Clathrin-binding domain of Huntingtin-interacting protein 1
  • Lectin C-type domain
  • protein binding
  • receptor binding
  • transmembrane receptor
