Tmprss3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable sodium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within intracellular sodium ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and neuronal cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 8 and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human TMPRSS3 (transmembrane serine protease 3).

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 Tmprss3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
