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 Atg2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- lipid transporter
- N-terminal region of Chorein or VPS13
- protein binding
- Autophagy-related protein C terminal domain
