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 Lgsn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Glutamine synthetase, beta-Grasp domain
- Glutamine synthetase, catalytic domain
- enzyme
- protein binding
Subcellular Expression
