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 Asz1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- Ankyrin repeats (many copies)
- SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
- SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif)
- Ankyrin repeats (3 copies)
- protein binding
- Ankyrin repeat
- ankyrin repeats
