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 Zfp451 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • SUMO ligase
  • PIN like domain
  • transcription co-repressor
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • PIN (PilT N terminus) domain: Superfamily
