Plekhg3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of cell migration and regulation of establishment of cell polarity. Orthologous to human PLEKHG3 (pleckstrin homology and RhoGEF domain containing G3).

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 Plekhg3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
