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 Pdlim1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF4749)
  • Domain present in PSD-95, Dlg, and ZO-1/2
  • transcription regulator
  • transcription co-activator
  • LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain, containing two zinc fingers
  • actin binding
  • canonical PDZ domain
  • central domain
  • ZASP-like motif
  • protein binding
  • PDZ domain
  • Serine Proline motif
