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 Slamf6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SAP binding domain
- extracellular domain
- cytoplasmic domain
- immunoglobulin domain
- protein binding
- transmembrane receptor
- Immunoglobulin V-set domain
- immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motif
