Saa3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables Toll-like receptor 4 binding activity and chemoattractant activity. Involved in response to stilbenoid. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including I-kappaB phosphorylation; cell chemotaxis; and cellular response to interleukin-1. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum; ileum; liver; reproductive system; and thymus. Orthologous to several human genes including SAA1 (serum amyloid A1) and SAA2 (serum amyloid A2). [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 Saa3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
