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 Clec14a 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
- protein binding
- Coagulation Factor Xa inhibitory site
