Rps3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity. A structural constituent of ribosome. Involved in positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity and positive regulation of protein-containing complex assembly. Located in cytoplasm. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in metanephros; pancreas epithelium; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human RPS3 (ribosomal protein S3).

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 Rps3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
