Sppl3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; plasma membrane; and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in Golgi-associated vesicle membrane; cytoplasmic side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and lumenal side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human SPPL3 (signal peptide peptidase like 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 Sppl3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
