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 Sfmbt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- Sterile alpha motif
- histone binding
- Present in Drosophila Scm, l(3)mbt, and vertebrate SCML2
- mbt repeat
