Anxa3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium-dependent phospholipid binding activity and phospholipase A2 inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ regeneration; hippocampus development; and response to glucocorticoid. Located in axon; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of glaucoma. Orthologous to human ANXA3 (annexin A3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Anxa3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
