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 Col6a4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- von Willebrand factor (vWF) type A domain
- vWFA
- collagen binding
- Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
- von Willebrand factor type A domain
- Proline-rich protein
