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 Cdyl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Chromatin organization modifier domain
  • histone binding
  • CHROMO (CHRromatin Organization Modifier) domains and chromo shadow domains
  • crotonase-like
  • protein binding
  • Chromo (CHRromatin organization MOdifier) domain
  • Enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase
