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 Ckm often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- kinase
- Phosphagen (guanidino) kinases
- creatine kinase
- ATP:guanido phosphotransferase, N-terminal domain
- protein binding
