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 Atl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Guanylate-binding protein, N-terminal domain
- GTPase
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
- P-loop containing Nucleoside Triphosphate Hydrolases
