👉 In the context of molecular biology, a tritonous protein is a type of polypeptide that exhibits both high sequence similarity and low sequence homology with other proteins. This characteristic allows it to have multiple structures in different domains within its overall structure. Tritonous proteins are typically found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of eukaryotic cells and play important roles in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, transcription, and degradation. They can also be involved in signaling pathways and cell differentiation
