Birc3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in spermatogenesis. Part of protein-containing complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal carcinoma; esophagus adenocarcinoma; extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human BIRC3 (baculoviral IAP repeat 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 Birc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
