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 Snx16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- coiled-coil domain
- The Phox Homology domain, a phosphoinositide binding module
- identical protein binding
- phosphatidylinositol binding
- PX domain
- transporter
