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 Adam5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Reprolysin family propeptide
- ZnMc
- ADAM cysteine-rich
- Disintegrin
- Reprolysin (M12B) family zinc metalloprotease
- protein binding
