A DNA-binding protein domain encoded by a homeobox, typically about 60 amino acids long.
Its folded structure presents a DNA-recognition surface and supports sequence-selective regulation. A homeobox is the corresponding DNA sequence category; a homeodomain is part of the encoded protein, so the terms refer to different molecular objects. [ref]
