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 Odf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RecF/RecN/SMC N terminal domain
- Tropomyosin
- RIM-binding protein of the cytomatrix active zone
- chromosome segregation protein SMC, primarily archaeal type
