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 Frem1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
- Cadherin-like
- Frem protein N-terminal domain
- Lectin C-type domain
- protein binding
- Calx-beta domain
- Domains in Na-Ca exchangers and integrin-beta4
