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 Chst9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- stem region
- transmembrane domain
- N-acetylgalactosamine-4-O-sulfotransferase
- enzyme
- chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase
