Reg3b Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables growth factor binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-arginine; estrous cycle; and negative regulation of cellular response to oxidative stress. Located in apical part of cell; extracellular space; and zymogen granule. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study acute pancreatitis and pneumonia. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including REG3A (regenerating family member 3 alpha).

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 Reg3b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
