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 Npm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- histone binding
- k-rich motif
- enzyme binding
- Nucleoplasmin-like domain
- chromatin binding
- protein binding
- DNA dependent ATPase
- identical protein binding
