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 Pold2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- DNA polymerase delta subunit OB-fold domain
- DNA-directed DNA polymerase
- DNA polymerase alpha/epsilon subunit B
- enzyme
- protein binding
- metallophosphatase superfamily, metallophosphatase domain
