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 Tnfrsf21 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Death domain
  • TNFR/NGFR cysteine-rich region
  • protein binding
  • Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF)
  • Death Domain Superfamily of protein-protein interaction domains
  • transmembrane receptor
