Cacnb3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable calcium channel regulator activity; high voltage-gated calcium channel activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell receptor signaling pathway. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CACNB3 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 3). [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 mouse Cacnb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
