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 Defb26 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Beta defensin
- beta-defensin domain found in gallinacin-11 (Gal-11) and gallinacin-13 (Gal-13)
