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 Angptl4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • fibrinogen-like domain
  • enzyme inhibitor activity
  • enzyme binding
  • coiled-coil domain
  • protein binding
  • furin cleavage site
  • identical protein binding
