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 Aqr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- enzyme
- protein binding
- UvrD-like helicase C-terminal domain
- RNA helicase
- single-stranded RNA binding
- P-loop containing Nucleoside Triphosphate Hydrolases
- Intron-binding protein aquarius N-terminus
- AAA domain
