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 Retsat often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- phytoene desaturase
- CH-CH group oxidoreductase
- NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-like domain
- enzyme
