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 Taf9b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- histone fold domain (HFD) superfamily
- Transcription initiation factor IID, 31kD subunit
- CENP-S protein
- transcription regulator
- protein binding
- Bromodomain associated
