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 Ablim2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain, containing two zinc fingers
- Villin headpiece domain
- protein binding
- Putative adherens-junction anchoring region of AbLIM
