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 Olfm3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Olfactomedin-like domain
- Neurogenesis glycoprotein
- C-terminal coiled-coil domain found in the laminin subunit beta (LAMB) family
- protein binding
- Glycosyl hydrolase families: GH43, GH62, GH32, GH68, GH117, CH130
