Pfkfb3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glial cell differentiation; glycolytic process; and motor behavior. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study extrinsic cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human PFKFB3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pfkfb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
