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 Galnt12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Ricin-type beta-trefoil lectin domain
  • Glycosyl transferase family 2
  • Ricin-type beta-trefoil
  • polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
  • N-terminal domain of galactosyltransferase
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • Glycosyltransferase like family 2
  • glycosyltransferase family A
  • ricin B-type lectin domain, beta-trefoil fold
