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 Fthl17a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Ferritin-like domain
- protein binding
- Ferritin-like superfamily of diiron-containing four-helix-bundle proteins
