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 Hcar1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • G-protein coupled receptor
  • Cholecystokinin A receptor, N-terminal
  • 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
  • seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily
