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 Sdc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- extracellular domain
- putative band 4.1 homologues' binding motif
- Syndecan domain
- cytoplasmic domain
- ectodomain
- C2 region of the Syndecan family
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
