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 Zfp318 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein homodimerization
- Herpesvirus leader protein
- U1 zinc finger
- Extensin-like region
- protein binding
- protein heterodimerization
