Add3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of vasoconstriction; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including brush border; cell-cell junction; and condensed nuclear chromosome. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton; plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Used to study hypertension and proteinuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy 3. Orthologous to human ADD3 (adducin 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 Add3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
