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 Vps50 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SNARE binding
- COG (conserved oligomeric Golgi) complex component, COG2
- Vacuolar-sorting protein 54, of GARP complex
