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 Gramd1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- lipid transporter
- cholesterol binding
- protein binding
- Pleckstrin homology-like domain
- VAD1 Analog of StAR-related lipid transfer domain
- transporter
