Agap3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity; GTPase activity; and polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human AGAP3 (ArfGAP with GTPase domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Agap3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
