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 Tcaf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- N-terminal domain of M60-like peptidases
- Peptidase M60, enhancin and enhancin-like
- ion channel binding
