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 Iqcg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Hsp70 protein binding
- Calmodulin-binding motif
- IQ (isoleucine-glutamine) motif containing G and D (IQCG and IQCD)
