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 Wfdc8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- WAP-type (Whey Acidic Protein) 'four-disulfide core'
- Kunitz/Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) domain
