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 Dph6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • diphthine-ammonia ligase
  • MJ0570-related uncharacterized domain
  • enzyme
  • Adenine nucleotide alpha hydrolase (AANH) superfamily
