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 Senp3 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-specific protease
  • cysteine-type peptidase
  • Ulp1 protease family, C-terminal catalytic domain
  • peptidase
  • ubiquitin-specific protease
  • protein binding
