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 Nav2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Calponin homology domain
- calponin homology (CH) domain superfamily
- enzyme
- protein binding
- heparin binding
- DNA helicase
- ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities
