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 Taf6l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • histone fold domain (HFD) superfamily
  • transcription regulator
  • transcription co-activator
  • TATA box binding protein associated factor (TAF)
  • C-terminal domain of TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 6 (TAF6)
  • protein binding
  • TATA box binding protein associated factor
  • DNA binding
