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 Mt-Nd4l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NADH-ubiquinone/plastoquinone oxidoreductase chain 4L
- enzyme
- NADH2 dehydrogenase (ubiquinone)
