ARL3 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; protein localization to cilium; and small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within post-Golgi vesicle-mediated transport. Located in several cellular components, including microtubule cytoskeleton; midbody; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Implicated in Joubert syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa 83. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 human ARL3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
