What Does TPR Stand For?
TPR stands for Tetratricopeptide Repeat
TPR, or Tetratricopeptide Repeat, is a type of protein structural motif characterized by the presence of tandemly repeated units of approximately 34 amino acids. These repeats typically facilitate protein-protein interactions and are often involved in various biological processes, including protein folding, cellular signaling, and regulation of gene expression. TPR motifs are found in a diverse range of proteins across different organisms, highlighting their functional significance in cellular mechanisms.
