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 Sipa1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Rap/ran-GAP
  • Domain present in PSD-95, Dlg, and ZO-1/2
  • canonical PDZ domain
  • GTPase activator
  • protein binding
  • PDZ domain
  • Cell division protein ZapB
