Cacng3

Enables PDZ domain binding activity and ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of AMPA receptor activity. Located in dendrite and excitatory synapse. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in childhood absence epilepsy and macular degeneration. Orthologous to human CACNG3 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 3).

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 Cacng3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
