Tsta3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GDP-L-fucose synthase activity; GDP-mannose 3,5-epimerase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' GDP-L-fucose biosynthetic process; positive regulation of endothelial cell migration; and positive regulation of endothelial cell-matrix adhesion via fibronectin. Predicted to act upstream of or within T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human GFUS (GDP-L-fucose synthase).

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 Tsta3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
