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 B4galnt3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
  • PA14 domain
  • N-terminal domain of galactosyltransferase
