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 rat Pdc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- CRX binding domain
- Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
- phospholipase inhibitor
- Phosducin
