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 Exosc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RNase PH-like 3'-5' exoribonucleases
- archaeal exosome-like complex exonuclease 1
- 3' exoribonuclease family, domain 1
