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 Qrfp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- G-protein-coupled receptor binding
- neuropeptide hormone
- Orexigenic neuropeptide Qrfp/P518
- RF-amide motif
