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 Col5a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SMAD binding
- von Willebrand factor type C domain
- Fibrillar collagen C-terminal domain
- extracellular matrix structural constituent
- Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
