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 Slc35a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • nucleotide-sugar transporter
  • EamA-like transporter family
  • antiporter
  • protein binding
  • CMP-sialic acid transporter
