Ncapd3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome condensation and regulation of chromosome segregation. Predicted to act upstream of or within meiotic chromosome separation. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleus. Predicted to be part of condensin complex. Predicted to be active in condensed chromosome, centromeric region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 22. Orthologous to human NCAPD3 (non-SMC condensin II complex subunit D3). [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 Ncapd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
