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 Erlin1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Vacuolar (H+)-ATPase G subunit
- cholesterol binding
- SPFH_like
- prohibitin homologues
- protein binding
