Xpnpep3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable manganese ion binding activity; metalloaminopeptidase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within glomerular filtration and protein processing. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephronophthisis-like nephropathy 1. Orthologous to human XPNPEP3 (X-prolyl aminopeptidase 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 Xpnpep3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
