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 Galntl5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Glycosyl transferase family 2
  • enzyme
  • transferase 2, rSAM/selenodomain-associated
  • Glycosyltransferase like family 2
  • glycosyltransferase family A
