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 Herc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • Regulator of chromosome condensation (RCC1) repeat
  • HECTc
  • WD40 repeats
  • SPRY domain
  • guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor
  • chromosome condensation 1-like domain
  • Domain Homologous to E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus with
