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 Cdhr5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • extracellular domain
  • Kruppel-like factor (KLF) 9, KLF13, KLF14, KLF16, and similar proteins
  • Cornifin (SPRR) family
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • MAPK-interacting and spindle-stabilising protein-like
  • beta-catenin binding
  • cell adhesion molecule binding
  • calcium ion binding
  • Cadherin repeat-like domain
  • protein binding
  • Spt5 C-terminal nonapeptide repeat binding Spt4
