Plod3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables procollagen glucosyltransferase activity and procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Involved in hydroxylysine biosynthetic process and peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in several cellular components, including collagen-containing extracellular matrix; endoplasmic reticulum; and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; ear; future brain; incisor; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PLOD3 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 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 Plod3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
