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 Crb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • FERM domain binding motif
  • transmembrane domain
  • protein domain specific binding
  • protein binding
  • PDZ binding motif
  • SH3-domain binding
  • Sh3 domain binding motif
