Adamts3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and protein processing. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in embryo; footplate apical ectodermal ridge; and handplate apical ectodermal ridge. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hennekam syndrome. Orthologous to human ADAMTS3 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 3).

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 mouse Adamts3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
