Ankyrin Repeat Domains

Ankyrin Repeat Domains (ARDs) are protein regions with a repeating sequence of about 33 amino acids, involved in a variety of cellular processes and found in many eukaryotic organisms. ARDs play an important role in mediating and stabilizing protein-protein interactions, providing a structural scaffold for many protein complexes, and are implicated in various diseases ranging from cardiovascular disorders to cancer. ARDs are currently being studied as potential drug targets due to the range of their roles in the body, and could offer promising treatment options for a variety of diseases. Furthermore, ARDs have proven to be great tools for understanding the structure and function of a wide range of biochemical pathways. As such, they are an important area of study for medical researchers and biotechnologists alike.
