Prdx3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including maternal placenta development; myeloid cell differentiation; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 32. Orthologous to human PRDX3 (peroxiredoxin 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 Prdx3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
