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 Tmem63c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- osmosensor
- calcium activated cation channel
- Calcium-dependent channel, 7TM region, putative phosphate
- channel/pore class transporter
- Late exocytosis, associated with Golgi transport
- inorganic uptake permease
- Cytosolic domain of 10TM putative phosphate transporter
- ion channel
- cation channel
