Pdzd3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including guanylate cyclase inhibitor activity; protein-membrane adaptor activity; and ubiquitin-specific protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cGMP-mediated signaling and protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical junction complex; apical part of cell; and brush border. Predicted to be active in apical plasma membrane. Orthologous to human NHERF4 (NHERF family PDZ scaffold protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pdzd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
