Crtc3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cAMP response element binding protein binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of CREB transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within energy homeostasis; negative regulation of adenylate cyclase-activating adrenergic receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human CRTC3 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 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 Crtc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
