Ptges3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including Hsp90 protein binding activity; p53 binding activity; and prostaglandin-E synthase activity. Involved in neuron apoptotic process; positive regulation of gene expression; and prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Located in actin filament; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human PTGES3 (prostaglandin E synthase 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 Ptges3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
