Scube3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable BMP binding activity; BMP receptor binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway; positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short stature, facial dysmorphism, and skeletal anomalies with or without cardiac anomalies 2. Orthologous to human SCUBE3 (signal peptide, CUB domain and EGF like domain containing 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 rat Scube3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
