Vav3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including integrin-mediated signaling pathway; neutrophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb segment; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human VAV3 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 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 Vav3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
