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 Smu1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- LisH-like dimerization domain
- WD40 repeats
- WD domain, G-beta repeat
- C-terminal to LisH motif
- WD40
- protein binding
- LisH
