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 Clec12b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- extracellular domain
- C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain
- immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif
- protein phosphatase binding
- Lectin C-type domain
- receptor inhibitor
- protein binding
