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 Mgll often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • alpha/beta hydrolase fold
  • lysophospholipase
  • alpha/beta hydrolases
  • Serine aminopeptidase, S33
  • Alpha/beta hydrolase family
  • acylglycerol lipase
  • protein homodimerization
  • enzyme
  • hydrolase
  • protein binding
