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 Fam3c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Interleukin-like EMT inducer
  • protein binding
  • cytokine
  • Domains similar to the Pancreatic-derived factor
