Rtp3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable olfactory receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; protein insertion into membrane; and protein targeting to membrane. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human RTP3 (receptor transporter protein 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 Rtp3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Zinc-binding domain
- protein binding
